Employee Rights
Termination Letter
California
Can my employer terminate me without providing a written termination letter?
I recently received notice of termination from my employer, but I was not provided with a written termination letter outlining the reasons for my termination. I have heard that it is a legal requirement for employers to provide a written termination letter, and I am unsure about my rights in this situation. I would like to know if my employer can terminate me without providing a written termination letter and what implications this may have for my legal rights and potential legal recourse.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry that you got this notice of termination. The law doesn't require specifically that any notice be in writing. There is some misinformation online, but the Department of Labor and Industries has laid out a comment on this - https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/TerminationOfEmployment.pdf I'm am very sorry about this+ and best of luck.
Employee Rights
Employment Handbook
California
Can my employer legally enforce a new policy in the employment handbook without notifying or obtaining consent from employees?
I recently received an updated copy of the employment handbook at my workplace, which included a new policy that significantly changes the dress code requirements. However, I was not notified about this change beforehand, nor was I asked to provide any consent or agreement to the new policy. I am wondering if my employer has the legal right to enforce this policy without proper notification or obtaining consent from the employees.
Patrick W.
Yes. If you are in an at will state and your employment is not for a period of time, your continued employment and aware of the new policy is adequate grounds for enforcing a new policy as a basis for employment termination or employment discipline.
Employee Rights
Employee Contract
California
Can an employer change an employee's hourly wage without prior notice or agreement?
I work as a sales representative for a company and recently noticed a decrease in my hourly wage on my paycheck. There was no communication or agreement regarding this change, and I am concerned about the legality of the situation. I have been with the company for over two years and have always been paid a certain hourly rate, which was agreed upon when I was hired. I want to know if my employer has the right to unilaterally change my hourly wage without any prior notice or agreement, and what steps I can take to address this issue.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry this happened. So the short answer is no. Legally, they have to let you know that there was going to be a change in the terms of your agreement. You have a few options: 1. You can send a template demand letter, stating this is a breach of your agreement - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/256 2. You can contact the state department of labor and file a wage claim. Best of luck! Dolan
Employee Rights
Employment Agreement
California
I have a question about California severance pay
Just received a notice from company for an immediate layoff
Christopher M.
There is no requirement under California law that a company pay severance to a terminated employee. Your severance pay will be controlled by either your employment agreement or employee handbook. However there are certain things, like paying you your final paycheck immediately that your company will be required to do under California law.
Employee Rights
Sales Commission Agreement
California
Can a sales commission agreement be enforced if it was not signed by both parties?
I work as a sales representative for a company and recently discovered that my commission structure was changed without my knowledge or consent. I was never given a new sales commission agreement to sign, and the changes were only communicated to me verbally. I have been receiving reduced commission payments for the past few months, and I am wondering if the original commission agreement can still be enforced even though it was not signed by both parties, or if the verbal changes are legally binding.
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by written agreement, or by oral agreement. Hello! I'm sorry for your situation. Generally, an agreement can be enforced by the actions of the parties, by a written agreement, or by oral agreement. In your case, you mentioned that the changes were communicated to you verbally. Assuming that the agreement you had was not for some fixed term and did not require advanced written notice, changes to the agreement are generally going to be legally allowed. The best thing to do is to check your original agreement to see if it was for a fixed term or if changes needed specific procedures (e.g., written notice). Happy trails!
