RETALIATION

Retaliation occurs when an employee complains about unlawful activity on the part of the employer or an agent, supervisor or manager, and as a result of speaking out, the employee is subjected to “adverse employment action.” Such action can be a reprimand, demotion, loss of a benefit, change of schedule to an undesirable shift, assigning undesirable duties, demotion or termination.

It is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for his or her complaining of instances of sexual discrimination, racial discrimination, national origin discrimination, disability discrimination or sexual harassment, or his or her agreeing to or actually offering testimony during an investigation of a claim or in court or other hearings involving a case alleging discrimination, harassment, failure to accommodate or failure to provide required medical leave.

FOR EMPLOYEES: If you feel that you have been retaliated against by your employer for exposing an illegal activity on the part of your employer, please call me at 215-545-8917 to discuss your situation.

FOR EMPLOYERS: If you are facing a charge of discrimination alleging retaliation or faced with a situation where you want to ensure you comply with Title VII and do not act in a retaliatory manner that will subject you to a lawsuit, please call me at 215-545-8917 to discuss your situation.
