FAQ
Collecting Relevant Evidence This can include emails, memos, performance reviews, or any other relevant documents that demonstrate the retaliation you're experiencing. Additionally, if there were any witnesses present during the incidents, consider asking them for statements to strengthen your case.
Proving retaliation is difficult but not impossible. In order to prove retaliation, you must show a link between your complaint and your employer's retaliatory behavior. This means collecting evidence of retaliation, including emails, eyewitness accounts and performance reviews.
Retaliation occurs when an employer (through a manager, supervisor, administrator or directly) fires an employee or takes any other type of adverse action against an employee for engaging in protected activity.
Timing is also a concern, as you must demonstrate that the action(s) taken against you occurred shortly after your protected activity. For instance, if you have a good work history but receive a negative review a few days after making a harassment complaint, that would provide solid grounds for a retaliation case.
Although the specific evidence can vary from case to case, your attorney can help you prove that: You've faced or witnessed some form of illegal harassment or discrimination. You took part in a protected activity. In response, your employer took adverse action against you (demotion, termination, etc.).
Report the Employer's Retaliation Depending on the nature of the violation and where it happened, this could include filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or another state or federal agency.

Gathering Evidence to Prove Retaliation This could mean filing a discrimination complaint, reporting illegal conduct, or participating in an investigation. Following your engagement in a protected activity, it's crucial to show that you experienced an adverse action.
