Federal and state law prohibit employers from retaliating against employees if they engage in “protected activity.” In other words, not all retaliation is illegal, but if it fits into one of the following categories then we might be able to help you:
- Complaining about discrimination or asserting your rights based on a protected class, such as race, disability, religion, sex, age, etc.;
- Complaining about health and safety violations under OSHA;
- Complaining or asserting your rights about wage and hour violations under FLSA;
- Asserting your rights under FMLA;
- Engaging in protected concerted activity;
- Using a legal product while off duty;
- Participating in school-related activities involving your children;
- Other circumstances, such as serving as a witness in a lawsuit, filing for worker’s compensation, refusing to engage in illegal conduct, and fulfilling jury duty responsibilities.
