Scott v. Central Cal. Faculty Medical Group, Inc.
Plaintiff alleged her employment was terminated in retaliation for internally reporting potentially unlawful actions by another employee. Her complaint alleged claims for (1) wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, (2) retaliation in violation of Labor Code section 1102.5, and (3) employment discrimination related to age and sex. Her employer filed a motion for summary judgment, contending plaintiff’s history of aggressive and abusive handling of staff was a legitimate reason for her discharge and plaintiff had failed to present substantial evidence that this legitimate reason was a pretext for a retaliatory or discriminatory motive. The trial court granted the motion and plaintiff appealed.
We conclude the trial court correctly granted summary adjudication of the causes of action claiming retaliation in violation of section 1102.5 and employment discrimination based on age and sex.
