Let go, with "promise" .....

CALIFORNIA

My last employer stated that they were slow (when they weren't) and told me they would have to let me go for a few weeks, they promised that I would be called when they got busy. Since then I have seen an ad in the paper that tey are hiring. Can they be held liable for breaking their promise?


Also, what is the statute of limitations on sexual harrasment/retaliation?

Thanks

As to what they did, california is an at will state == they can fire you for no reason without notice. So you are out of luck there.

As to sexual harassment, you need to read sexual harassment in the employment law section. I am not sure about the statute of limitations but it sounds like you are seeking revenge -- make sure it is fraudulent.
