A Complete Short Synopsis With Regards To California Employment Laws Termination

[mage lang="" source="flickr"]california employment laws termination[/mage]
California Employment termination question. I have a friend who was just terminated after 2-1/2 years of work?

with a company. This was an at will employment agreement - but no reason was given for termination and it was completely un-expected. Does anyone know where to get information on the law covering this kind of action - or if he may have grounds for filing a wrongful dismissal suite?
I'm curious now - I just used wikipedia and search for at will employment. They say California is one of 11 states that has a covenant of good faith and fair dealing exceptions - AKA - Implied in Law contracts. From my reading this means termination for malice or other unfair reasons may be illegal. Does anyone here REALLY know?

California is an "at will" state, meaning you can be fired for any reason, at any time, or for no reason at all .... unless there are established procedures in the company, or with a labor contract, or if you suspect discrimination or other illegal activities. Your friend is probably out of luck. Concentrate on new employment, first. Then return to this subject at a later date. I think you have a year to sue your boss for discrimination.

What does wrongful termination and at-will employment mean in CA?
