Workplace Retaliation Attorney | Employee Retaliation Claims

Retaliation in the Workplace

Employees may also have legal protections when they speak up about discrimination or exercise certain workplace rights.

Depending on the circumstances, protected activity may include reporting suspected discrimination or harassment, participating in an investigation, requesting a reasonable accommodation, taking protected leave, or otherwise asserting rights provided by employment laws.

Retaliation can take many forms, including termination, demotion, reduced hours, undesirable assignments, disciplinary action, or other materially adverse treatment.

If your employer's treatment of you changed after you raised concerns or exercised a protected right, it may be worth having the circumstances reviewed.

What Should You Do If You Believe You Have Been Retaliated Against?

Employment discrimination and retaliation claims may be subject to strict deadlines, so it can be important to understand your rights early.

Documents and communications can also become important evidence. Emails, text messages, performance reviews, disciplinary notices, workplace policies, schedules, and other records may help establish what occurred and why.

Speaking with an employment attorney can help you understand the laws that may apply, the information you should preserve, and the options available based on your particular circumstances.
