Sacramento Breach of Contract Attorneys
Protecting Employees Involved in Breach of Contract Disputes in California
Employment contracts are legally binding agreements that help define the relationship between employers and employees. Employment contracts cover issues including but not limited to the following:
- Job Information (Job Description, Employee Title and Classification, Skill and Education Requirements, Department Assignment)
- Salary and Benefits Information (401K, Time Off, Bonus Structure)
- Privacy Policy and Confidentiality Agreement
- Termination and Severance Information
A breach of contract occurs when two parties have a contract with one another and one or both parties do not comply with the terms of that contract in some way. In some cases, employees breach employment contracts, and in other instances, employers break contracts. In either case, there can be serious ramifications for breaching the contract.

Types of Breach of Contract
There are two main types of breach of contract. There is a major breach of contract, which involves a complete failure, without a valid excuse, to fulfill the terms of the contract. Generally, an employment contract is considered unsalvageable after a major breach. There is also a minor breach of contract. Minor breaches of contract are less severe than major breaches. In some cases, a minor breach can be condoned or forgiven.
Damages for Breach of Contract
In California, employees can often recover damages if their employer is proven to have breached their employment contract. One type of damages employees can recover is expectation damages. An example of expectation damages is when employees recover damages for wrongful termination. In some cases, the employees are awarded damages for the salary they would’ve been expected to earn if they hadn’t been wrongfully terminated.
