FAQ
When an employer takes an adverse action against an employee, not because the employee violated a company policy or did not do their job well, it is workplace retaliation.
Any employer who discharges, disciplines, threatens, discriminates against, or penalizes an employee in a manner prohibited by this section shall be subject to a civil penalty not to exceed the amount of the employee's wages that are lost as a result of the violation.
Under the current law, a retaliation claim includes three stages of a shifting burden of proof: (1) the employee must establish a prima facie case of retaliation; (2) the employer must identify a legitimate, non-retaliatory reason for their act(s); and (3) the employee must prove that the employer's non-retaliatory ...
What is Retaliation and Why It Matters? A manager may not fire, demote, harass or otherwise "retaliate" against an individual for filing a complaint of discrimination, participating in a discrimination proceeding, or otherwise opposing discrimination.

Again, there are three elements employees have to prove: First: The employee engaged in protected activity. Second: The employer took an adverse employment action against the employee. Third: The employer took against the employee because of the protected activity.
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.).
