Wrongful Termination

Our client in Los Angeles, California, was wrongfully terminated after reporting and formally complaining about sexual harassment in the workplace. Instead of addressing the harassment and protecting our client as required by law, the employer retaliated by firing her – one of the most serious and unlawful responses an employer can take under California and federal employment law.

Employees in California who report sexual harassment are fully protected from retaliation under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Firing an employee for speaking up about harassment is an egregious violation of the law and of basic workplace dignity. No worker should be forced to choose between tolerating harassment and keeping their job – and when employers make that choice for them through retaliation, they face substantial legal consequences.

Feher Law fought for our Los Angeles client and secured a $380,000 settlement – holding the employer accountable for the retaliatory termination and compensating our client for lost wages, emotional distress, and the career harm caused by the employer’s unlawful conduct.
