Generally speaking, California law follows the “at-will” employment doctrine. Under this doctrine, an employer generally is free to demote or terminate an employee with or without just cause. However, there are numerous exceptions to this doctrine. Some of those exceptions are; for an employee to be terminated based on their race, sex, ethnic origin, pregnancy, disability or medical condition.
