A mistaken belief for most employees is that he or she won’t be able to file a lawsuit because of the at-will provisions that govern the employment relationship. While at-will employment relationships can limit employee rights, you cannot be fired for an illegal reason.

Before you are able to file a civil lawsuit against a Fresno employer for wrongful termination, you must first file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). Also, there is a statute of limitations—in other words there is a deadline for you to bring your wrongful termination lawsuit. To find out if your claim is barred by a statute of limitations, please contact us.

If you believe that you were wrongfully terminated based on discrimination, retaliation, or harassment, you have 180 days from the last discriminatory act to obtain a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC. This would give you another 90 days to file your lawsuit starting from the date you received your right-to-sue letter.
