Retaliation in the Workplace

Legal Rights against Employer Retaliation

A large percentage of the victims of employment discrimination refrain from speaking up about the situation or fail to take action because they fear retaliation from a supervisor or employer. Often a recipient of sexual harassment or race discrimination has been threatened with a demotion, pay cut or termination and this is enough to prevent a complaint or a lawsuit that might put an end to the behavior. Such actions are illegal, and if you find yourself in this position, you should speak with a knowledgeable Los Angeles employment law lawyer to learn more about what you can do to defend your rights.

An employee who complains to an employer or a government agency about discrimination or harassment on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation is protected from reprisals by the employer. Employer retaliation claims can arise from any workplace situation, including hiring, firing, wages, promotions, layoffs, benefits or any other circumstance of employment with the company. A successful outcome in this type of employee rights case will often result in the payment of monetary damages to the victim.
