Orange County Retaliation Lawyers

State and federal labor laws strictly forbid employers from retaliating against employees for taking legally protected actions. In other words, your employer is legally prohibited from retaliating against employees who are filing a complaint or report with internal or external authorities. This includes punishment for protected activities like reporting safety issues to OSHA, contacting human resources about discriminatory policies, or reporting illegal activity to law enforcement. The same applies to employees who make complaints regarding their wages. 

It is illegal to terminate, demote, harass, refuse promotion, alter benefits, change job assignments, or otherwise retaliate against an individual for filing a complaint or lawsuit against an employer for discrimination or harassment, or to receive deserved benefits under various labor laws. 

Retaliatory actions range from harassment to demotion to salary loss or reduction in hours. They can also be disguised as routine reassignment or a reason for termination that tries to seem legitimate.
