§ 19570 Employee Disciplinary Actions

• •This law talks about 'adverse action'—that means getting fired, demoted, suspended, or punished at work.
• •It doesn’t cover bosses or managers unless special rules in other sections apply.
• •If you’re not a manager, this law helps protect you from unfair punishment at work.

If your boss fires you for no good reason, like because they don’t like you, this law might help you.

The law says you can’t be punished unfairly at work unless you’re a manager. If you’re not, you might have a case to fight back.
