When an employee reports discrimination, harassment, wage violations, of unsafe working conditions to their employer, they expect to do so without fear of retaliation or retribution. Unfortunately that is not always the case. Some managers cross the bounds of appropriate conduct and engage in harassment and/or adversely affect an employee’s employment status such as denying promotions and engaging in unwarranted performance management including termination. These forms of retaliation are unlawful and can result in significant damages for employees.
If you believe you are being retaliated for reporting discrimination or harassment in the workplace, or if you have confronted your employer about irregularities in wage payments, you should consult with an attorney for assistance to ensure that you protect your rights.
