Retaliation
As Seen On








Retaliation Attorney Los Angeles

What Are Protected Activities?
There are two basic types of protected activities:- Reporting illegal or potentially illegal activity: If you believe your employer is breaking the law, you have the right to report that behavior to the proper authorities. You must be acting with a good faith belief that your employer is engaged in the prohibited activity. Similarly, you can also make reports to federal, state, or local regulatory agencies if you believe that there is a violation. For example, if you know of a worker safety issue your employer refuses to address, you can report to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and you can report sexual harassment and workplace discrimination issues to your own company’s human resources department.
- Cooperating in an investigation: Your employer cannot take action against you if you give information to an agency investigating your company, such as a compliance agency or law enforcement. Even if you testify against your company under a subpoena, you are protected as part of your employee rights. If you are more comfortable, you can speak to a Los Angeles retaliation attorney during the legal process.
Federal Protections Against Retaliation

How to Prove You are a Victim of Retaliation
Always start by speaking with a Los Angeles retaliation attorney so that you can get a free assessment as part of your initial consultation. Your attorney will understand your situation and how it affects your rights. These are the steps you will take:- First, you will need to prove that you were participating in a protected activity, such as making a complaint about discrimination or harassment or participating in an investigation against your employer.
- Second, you will need to prove that you were punished for this activity. This punishment could be getting fired, being demoted, or losing overtime hours that you were getting before you engaged in the protected activity.
- Finally, you must show that the punishment was specifically because you engaged in the protected activity. Your employer may try to use evidence that there were other reasons you were demoted or fired, in an effort to prove the action was not workplace retaliation. If you have a poor work record, with many unexcused absences or reviews reporting that you were underperforming in your position, it may be more difficult to prove that there was an act of retaliation. This is the area where your attorney may be able to offer the most help because this is the most difficult to prove.
Wrongful Termination
Not every termination is illegal. Unless you have a contract that defines the scope of your employment, your employer may be able to fire you at will. However, it is unlawful to terminate your employment in a “fundamentally unfair way” or in retaliation because of protected activities.Discrimination Harassment Retaliation Attorneys
