Retaliation By Employers Is Illegal Treatment

What is Retaliation?

You may not know the legal definition of retaliation, but you know what it feels like to be targeted at work because you complained about poor work conditions. Retaliation is just that: targeting an employee because of a complaint he or she made to improve conditions on the job.

Workplace retaliation can be defined as the adverse actions an employer takes against an employee that reported a work superior's wrong-doing to punish or deter the employee from reporting wrong-doing.

Have Any of These Things Happened to You At Work?

Scenario one: Your direct supervisor had been making comments of a sexual nature about your appearance and you finally reported him to human resources. The comments have stopped, but now your work performance is being questioned by management. You're worried you may lose your job as a result.

Scenario two: Your boss is responsible for reporting data to the federal government. You found out that she has been altering the reports for several months. You don't want to report your boss, but you're worried what will happen if you don't.

Scenario three: You enjoy your work and you know that you contribute to the company's success, but you've noticed that other younger employees have been routinely promoted to positions that you are well-qualified for. You feel like you are being passed over for promotions because you are nearing retirement.

You may be unsure whether you have a workplace retaliation or discrimination case. If you have questions about what is happening to you at work, contact an attorney at Lamberto & Kreger to discuss the facts of your situation and advise you on your rights.
