California is an “at-will” employment state. This means that employers and employees are allowed to terminate their job without notice, at any time, and with or without cause. This presumption provides freedom for both employer and employee, but it does not excuse all termination. In other words, your job can’t just fire you for no reason. They are responsible for documenting any and all instances and situations that involve the decision of your termination. For example, they are to document any warnings given to you, poor evaluations of your work, or any conversation surrounding your challenges at work. The reason workplaces are so diligent about documenting is because as an employee you still have rights and if you are terminated for other reasons then you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
