Taking Action When an Employer Retaliates
There are many reasons why an employer can make the decisions it does, but retaliation against the employee for protected conduct is not one of them. Employers who retaliate against employees by taking adverse actions — demoting them, firing them, or taking other actions — may be breaking the law.
At Working Law Group, we represent California workers who have been retaliated against by their employers. Our law firm is located in Ventura, and our experienced attorneys serve people throughout the area, including Carpinteria, Santa Paula, and Oxnard.
What is Protected Conduct?
The law prevents employers from retaliating against employees who engage in protected conduct. But what exactly is protected conduct? The law recognizes many types of protected conduct, like notifying government agencies of unsafe working conditions, complaining about discrimination, or discussing with your coworkers the conditions of your employment, including your pay.
Many people who are the victims of retaliation are afraid to take action. They worry that something even worse might happen to them — like being fired or laid off. Whether you become a client of Working Law Group, or speak with another attorney in a different law firm, the things said between you and Working Law Group are confidential.
