SB 497 and Wrongful Termination Litigation Against Medical Practices: Understanding California’s 90-Day Rebuttable Presumption in Retaliation Claims

January 19th, 2026|Comments Off on SB 497 and Wrongful Termination Litigation Against Medical Practices: Understanding California’s 90-Day Rebuttable Presumption in Retaliation Claims

For Southern California medical practices already facing a retaliation-based wrongful termination dispute, California's SB 497 (Equal Pay and Anti-Retaliation Act), effective January 1, 2024, may materially affect how timing is viewed in litigation. Under specified Labor Code provisions, an adverse employment action taken within 90 days of protected activity may trigger a rebuttable presumption in favor of the employee’s claim. In a wrongful termination case, that timing issue may increase scrutiny of causation, pretext, internal communications, and the employer’s stated reasons for the decision.

Wrongful Termination and Retaliation Exposure for Southern California Employers: What Medical Practices Should Know About Protected Activity

January 15th, 2026|Comments Off on Wrongful Termination and Retaliation Exposure for Southern California Employers: What Medical Practices Should Know About Protected Activity

📌 Key Takeaways Protected activity may turn an ordinary employment dispute into a broader retaliation and wrongful termination claim when a plaintiff links protected activity to a later adverse employment action. Protected Activity Broadens Claims: Protected complaints, reports, participation, refusals, and leave-related communications may qualify as protected activity under California law, depending on the facts alleged. Causation and Statutory Presumptions: In California, timing is more than just a circumstantial argument. Under statutes like Labor Code § 1102.5 (as amended by SB 497), a rebuttable presumption of retaliation is triggered if an adverse action occurs within 90 days of certain... Read more

Wrongful Termination Claims Against Southern California Employers: What Medical Practice Owners Need to Know About the Limits of At-Will Employment

January 12th, 2026|Comments Off on Wrongful Termination Claims Against Southern California Employers: What Medical Practice Owners Need to Know About the Limits of At-Will Employment

📌 Key Takeaways At-will employment in California may define the employment relationship, but it does not automatically defeat a wrongful-termination claim. At-Will Has Limits: California Labor Code section 2922 may establish a default rule, yet a plaintiff may still allege unlawful motivation behind a termination. Overlapping Claims Expand Exposure: A single termination may be alleged to involve discrimination, retaliation, job-protected medical leave, whistleblower conduct, or public-policy wrongful termination. Facts Often Drive Liability: A judge, jury, or other trier of fact may focus on timing, communications, disciplinary records, and comparative treatment, not only the at-will doctrine. Protected Conduct Matters: A... Read more

Wrongful Termination in Violation of Public Policy: What Small Medical Practice Owners Need to Know

January 9th, 2026|Comments Off on Wrongful Termination in Violation of Public Policy: What Small Medical Practice Owners Need to Know

California employers may face significant litigation exposure when a former employee alleges that a termination violated fundamental public policy. Under California law, generally, this form of wrongful termination claim may arise when an employee asserts that the discharge was tied to protected activity, the exercise of statutory rights, refusal to engage in unlawful conduct, or other conduct the law protects. For small, owner-operated medical practices in Southern California, that allegation may broaden the dispute from a single termination decision into a closer examination of motive, timing, records, and management communications. When a California Public-Policy Wrongful Termination Claim May Arise... Read more
