4604 Although a practice known as "payment packing" was not specifically prohibited until after plaintiff's cause of action arose, it involves defrauding customers of money, which was prohibited by the Penal Code, so plaintiff's allegation that he was terminated for refusing to participate in it and complaining about it could result in liability for wrongful termination in violation of public policy.
