Los Angeles Employer Retaliation Lawyers

In the City of Angels, hard work and dedication should be rewarded, not penalized. However, there are instances when employers retaliate against employees who assert their rights. In this article, we will explore the concept of employer retaliation, how it manifests in the workplace, and how Moore Ruddell LLP can provide support if you find yourself in such a situation.

Retaliation in the workplace is a serious issue. It refers to a situation where an employer takes unfavorable action against an employee due to that employee exercising their legal rights. These rights may include filing a complaint about harassment or discrimination, standing up to harassment or discrimination in the workplace, participating in an investigation, raising safety concerns, or whistleblowing on illegal activities.

Such retaliatory action can come in various types of adverse employment actions. They might include demotion, termination, suspension, reassignment to less desirable tasks, or creating a hostile work environment. Any of these actions can have significant negative impacts on your career, finances, and overall wellbeing.

California law offers robust protection against workplace retaliation. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits retaliation against employees who have lodged complaints about harassment or discrimination. Similarly, the California Labor Code and the Whistleblower Protection Act protect employees who report wage violations, safety violations, statutory violations, and fraud.
