The term “Wrongful Termination” encompasses many things. In the broad sense, it means any termination that is illegal under state or federal law. In its narrowest use, it means terminations that violate “public policy” and which courts have ruled are an illegal basis for termination.

In California, this doctrine has been widely expanded by courts and provided employees extra protections that are far too numerous to detail here.
