Helping Health Care Workers Who Were Wrongfully Discharged
Employers in the health care industry are barred from wrongfully terminating employees in California. The health care industry must follow both state and federal employment laws.

Wrongful Discharge In The Health Care Industry
As with any other industry, heath care employers may not terminate an employee because of race, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability. If your employer discriminates against you and you lose your job as a result, you likely have a discrimination suit against your health care employer.
Health care employers also may not fire you for reporting sexual harassment or for supporting another’s allegation of sexual harassment in the workplace. Very strict laws prevent an employer in the health care industry from discharging an employee.
Other examples of wrongful discharge in the health care industry include termination based on:
- Taking medical leave
- Reporting illegal medical billing practices
- Reporting wage and hour violations
- Serving in the armed forces
- Reporting medical privacy law violations
Holding your health care employer responsible for wrongful termination will not only provide you with the compensation you deserve, but will also help prevent future employment law violations against health care employees.
