The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) under Federal law protects employees from cases of workplace discrimination or retaliation. Unlawful employer retaliation includes cases like:

• Filing a complaint or being a witness to it
• Reporting workplace discrimination or harassment informally
• Refusing sexual advances from a senior
• Requesting Assistance From the Disabilities Act

• The Costs of Job Searching
• The extent of medical expenses
• Amount of wages unpaid or lost
• Emotional suffering and distress
• The reason behind an employer retaliation

Working with a workplace retaliation attorney can help you determine a reasonable estimate based on the circumstances of your case. Still, there is no guaranteed amount until your settlement has been finalized.

The average claim in California value is approximately $40,000, so if you have suffered retaliation or harassment from your employer, it’s worth talking to a workplace retaliation lawyer.

To file an employer retaliation claim, we advise employees to contact our employment lawyer for legal assistance and guidance throughout their retaliation case. Federal law protects employees from unfair treatment in the workplace to create a stable, healthy working environment, but federal laws are also extensive and difficult to navigate.

Our employment attorneys are equipped with the knowledge and experience that provides the most manageable and beneficial experience for you. If you have evidence that supports your discrimination claims, contact our retaliation attorneys and start the process today.

Employees face retaliation every day, and it often goes unpunished. Use the power of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Civil Rights Act, Employment Act, and every other resource that’s been established to protect employees from any adverse employment action.

There are very few instances where overtime pay is not required federally or by state law. Generally, the law obligates employers to pay overtime. You should contact a law firm to file a retaliation lawsuit against your employer if they don’t.

According to the California Department of Industrial Relations, “California law requires that employers pay overtime, whether authorized or not, at the rate of one and one-half times the employee’s regular pay rate for all hours worked more than eight up to and including 12 hours in any workday. For the first eight hours of work on the seventh consecutive day of work.”

If your overtime has gone unpaid as a negative action, you may be entitled to compensation. 

Right away, the right thing to do is to document everything relating to the unlawful activity. Rather than speak to someone over the phone or in person, use text or email.

Either method allows your conversation to be recorded and may be used as evidence if legal action is necessary. Oftentimes, clients will try to take matters into their own hands.

For example, employees think if they secretly record in-person conversations, the recording will be the proof they need. Not only are secret recordings illegal in California, but there’s a chance the illegal recording can’t be used as evidence at all. 

If you suspect your employer is acting unlawfully, contact our office immediately. Our intake staff will get the information needed for an attorney to guide you through this process.
