When an employee alleges that his or her employment has been terminated in violation of public policy, can they bring a claim against the employer for wrongful dismissal?

"[T]he cause of action recognized in Tameny, supra, 27 Cal.3d 167, is defined primarily as a limitation imposed by law on the employer's power of dismissal[;] dismissal on improper grounds is a breach of duty. Accordingly, when an employee alleges that his or her employment has been terminated in violation of public policy, a cause of action will accrue at the time of dismissal for the purpose of the statute of limitations." (Romano v. Rockwell Internat., Inc. (1996) 14 Cal.4th 479, 501.)
