What is a breach of contract in regards to wrongful termination?

A breach of contract in regards to wrongful termination is when an employer terminates an employee without following the contract that was established between the two parties. In California, employers must provide a justifiable reason for terminating an employee, such as unsatisfactory performance or misconduct. If the employer terminates the employee without providing a valid reason, they are in breach of the contract and may face legal repercussions. Additionally, the contract must be followed in regards to the process of termination. If an employee is provided with notice, severance pay, or other benefits outlined in the contract, these provisions must be met in order for the termination to be legally valid. If an employer fails to do so, it is considered a breach of contract. Employees who believe they have been wrongfully terminated may be able to sue their employer for breach of contract, in addition to other forms of legal recourse such as wrongful termination or discrimination. They may be able to receive financial compensation and/or reinstatement of their job. However, in order to prove that the employer breached their contract, the employee must provide evidence that the employer did not follow the contractual provisions.
