Globe v. County of Los Angeles

In Globe v. County of Los Angeles (1958) 163 Cal.App.2d 595, the appeal court answered a claim of a temporary county employee thus: "A temporary employee has no vested right to county employment and may therefore be discharged summarily." The result would be different were the dismissal based upon the exercise of an employee's constitutional right. And at page 601, the court stated: "In demanding a hearing regardless of his employment status, petitioner is in effect asking the court to equalize the rights of all civil service employees whether they be temporary, probationary or permanent. To do so would lose sight of the entire philosophy of civil service in government and destroy the distinction between the various classifications."
