Concord Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Lawyers
Victims of discrimination, sexual harassment and other forms of wrongdoing in the workplace often hesitate to take action because they fear retaliation from their employers. Unfortunately, there are employers that will retaliate against employees for complaining about wrongdoing in the workplace. Retaliation is illegal in these situations and employers can be held accountable.
When a Difficult Situation Is Made Worse
At the law firm of Patton Wolan Carlise LLP, our attorneys understand that people who have been victims of discrimination, sexual harassment and other forms of mistreatment from employers and coworkers have a difficult time already. When they are retaliated against because they tried to get the mistreatment to stop, a difficult situation is made worse. Our role is to step in and put our experience to work making matters better.
Since 1985, we have been helping employees like you throughout the Bay Area of California get fair compensation in retaliation cases.
Forms of Retaliation
A person makes a complaint to management or to the human resources department. Soon after, that person is terminated, demoted, passed up for a promotion or moved to an undesirable position with lower pay. It is clear that he or she has been retaliated against.
Retaliation is illegal when it is a reaction to:
- Discrimination complaints
- Sexual harassment complaints
- Wage and hour claims
- Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) use
- Whistleblower actions
No matter what situation you have found yourself in, you can be confident in our ability to get you the compensation you need.
