Is my employer responsible for providing severance pay if I am wrongfully terminated?

In California, there is no general requirement for employers to provide severance pay to employees who are wrongfully terminated. However, if your employer has an established policy, contract, or agreement that states specific severance pay upon wrongful termination, they may be legally required to provide this to you. Your employer may also be obligated to provide severance pay if there is an established company practice to do so, even if this is not specified in the contract. It is important to review the terms of any contract or agreement between you and your employer, as these will dictate your rights and responsibilities in the case of wrongful termination. If you feel that your employer has wrongfully terminated you, contact an experienced lawyer to learn more about your options. If it is determined that you have been wrongfully terminated, you may be able to seek compensation for the wages, benefits, and other damages that you have experienced as a result. Additionally, if you have been wrongfully terminated based on a specific protected factor such as race, gender, age, or religion, you may be able to seek additional damages related to this form of discrimination.
