Are you a workplace retaliation victim? You’ve got rights and a way to fight back and get justice. Let’s learn about how you can identify retaliation, take steps against it, and seek the help of a lawyer.
Workplace retaliation happens when an employer punishes an employee for engaging in a legally protected activity. Some retaliation signs include unfair negative reviews, demotion, pay cuts, or termination for no valid reasons.
The US has enacted three laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to protect employees from retaliation. These laws help you report a violation without any fear of punishment.
