Retaliation Attorneys in Santa Ana
Did an Employer Punish You for Speaking up?
It can be an emotionally challenging experience if you were fired, subjected to a reprimand, or endured another negative consequence at work. You probably don’t agree with your employer’s decisions or actions, and you may be wondering if you are now a victim of retaliation. Many people have similar thoughts during times like these, which is why it’s important to seek assistance from The Gould Firm to help you evaluate your claim.
You can claim retaliation if you were punished for engaging in a legally protected activity such as:
- Reporting incidents of discrimination
- Refusing to break the law or reporting another employee for doing so
- Complaining about an unsafe work environment
- Complaining about your wages or discussing wages with other employees
- Requesting reasonable accommodation for a disability
- Reporting sexual harassment or other forms of harassment
These are merely a few things you can do without fearing a negative consequence from your employer. The situations in which you may experience retaliation are many, but not all will qualify. Your employer may be within their rights to punish you for not liking your work, complaining an unprotected matter (such as nepotism or an annoying coworker), or violating lawful company policies.
