Defending Against Workplace Retaliation: Understanding Your Rights and Legal Remedies

Securing your dream job can sometimes turn into a nightmare when faced with ethical dilemmas or employer misconduct. You want to do anything to keep this job but are concerned about actions your employer wants you to take. Whether pressured to compromise ethics or experiencing retaliation for standing up against discrimination, it’s crucial to be aware of your rights and available recourse.

Protection Against Unlawful Retaliation: If you find yourself jobless due to suspected unlawful retaliation, it’s essential to know that legal safeguards are in place. Our seasoned employment attorneys are dedicated to assisting victims in fighting back through litigation. We aim to hold accountable employers who misuse their power to harm those striving to enhance workplace environments.

Defining Retaliatory Conduct: You may be facing retaliation if punished for activities such as witnessing or reporting discrimination, participating in discrimination investigations, rejecting supervisorial advances, seeking religious accommodations, or uncovering potential pay violations. Employers are prohibited from punishing employees for ethically performing their duties, engaging in investigations, declining advances, or asserting protected rights. The power of employers is constrained when it clashes with employees’ moral courage.

Establishing Causation: While employers cannot lawfully retaliate, convincing evidence is crucial to demonstrating the causal links between your lawful actions and their retaliatory behavior. With countless cases of experience in retaliation claims, our legal team helps establish these connections, demanding accountability through regulatory channels and seeking justice through lawsuits.

Promoting Ethical Excellence: Every employee deserves the freedom to excel ethically at work without the fear of retaliation. Penalizing individuals for their good faith actions not only exacerbates harm but also discourages speaking out against future misconduct. With our attorneys as allies, you can fight to regain control of your career and put an end to the cycle of retaliation.
