San Jose Demotion & Suspensions Attorneys
Palo Alto Retaliation Lawyers
It's not illegal for an employer to suspend or demote an employee. However, an adverse employment action is considered retaliation when it comes after you have made a complaint that is related to workplace safety violations, illegal activities or discrimination.
Examples of adverse employment actions include:
- Demotion
- Suspension
- Lowering of pay
- Wrongful termination
The employment law attorneys at Lamberto & Kreger specialize in representing employees to make sure their rights are enforced -- and we understand what you are going through. We understand that when this has happened to you, you might be out of a job.
For some people, work is one of the most important things in life -- where they derive self-esteem and validation. If you are one of these people, when your relationship with your employer is out of sorts it can be very difficult and anxiety-inducing. We will listen to your concerns and help you every step of the way.
If your demotion or suspension comes shortly after you made a complaint of discrimination it may be retaliation. Contact our San Jose demotion and suspension attorneys today.
When you have complained of discrimination and are fired shortly after, your employer will always give another reason for your demotion, suspension or termination. Key points to consider are:
- How much time has elapsed between your complaint and the adverse employment action?
- Your employment performance
- Any facts demonstrating your employer's state of mind, such as overheard comments or inconsistencies in reasoning
Demotion or suspension usually occurs months after your complaint about discrimination, including sexual harassment claims. Even if your employer gives another reason and is sophisticated enough to let time go by, you know you were demoted or suspended to retaliate for your complaints.
