Legal Action for Canceled Hotel Rewards Unclear: Consult Attorney for Prospective Economic Advantage Claim

Based on the information provided, it is unclear whether the former employee has grounds for taking legal action against their former employer regarding the cancellation of hotel rewards and perks. The contracts in question did not appear to include a condition requiring the employee to remain employed to receive the benefits. However, the former employer may have requested that the hotel chain not issue the concession(s) due to the employee’s termination. The former employee should consult with an employment-law attorney to determine whether there was any wrongdoing or interference with prospective economic advantage. In addition, the former employee may have claims for wrongful termination or retaliation under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act if the termination was related to complaints about bullying or harassment, which is more broadly defined under California law than under federal legislation. It should be noted that suing over hotel points seems unlikely to yield significant damages, and the former employee may want to consider whether pursuing legal action is worthwhile given the legal standards and expenses involved. The former employee is advised to exercise caution and seek professional guidance before making any decisions.
