FAQ

Although instances of retaliation aren't always simple to prove, it is far from an impossible feat. The best way to ensure you have a valid retaliation claim against your employer is to secure legal representation from an attorney who specializes in retaliation cases.

A strong retaliation case typically involves clear evidence of three key elements: the employee's engagement in a protected activity, an adverse action taken by the employer, and a demonstrable causal connection between the two.

Yes, it can be worth suing in certain situations when you have a strong case and believe that you have been wronged. Suing may be worth it to seek justice, hold the responsible party accountable, and obtain compensation for damages, lost wages, or emotional distress caused by workplace retaliation.

A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.

This could include written documentation of adverse actions, changes in job responsibilities, negative performance evaluations, or any other tangible proof of retaliation. Records of communication, especially emails that discuss or allude to the alleged retaliation can provide a clear trail of events and motivations.

The standard for proving a retaliation claim requires showing that the manager's action might deter a reasonable person from opposing discrimination or participating in the EEOC complaint process.

Winning a retaliation case can be daunting, but it is possible when you have strong evidence on your side. Your case is only as strong as the evidence you have. In other words, you need to substantiate your claim with facts and evidence. That is when your case gains strength and credibility.

In fact, the title defines an employee as simply "an individual employed by an employer." Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.

What remedies/damages are available in a Title VII lawsuit? Plaintiffs have a right to jury trials under Title VII, and successful plaintiffs can be awarded lost wages (both past and future), mental/emotional distress (compensatory) damages, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.
