Long Beach Retaliation Attorney

California law and federal law allow workers to report employers for suspected wrongdoing and to cooperate with investigators looking into various forms of misconduct without fear of being retaliated against by their employers. Unfortunately, not all employers obey the law.
Have you been in some capacity mistreated by an employer after blowing the whistle on safety violations, reporting sexual misconduct, or simply agreeing to answer the questions of investigators looking into violations at your workplace? If so, you may have grounds to file a claim or lawsuit accordingly.
Discuss your case with a lawyer for more information about your legal options. A Long Beach retaliation attorney at Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers will go over your case’s details and explain what the appropriate next step may be.

Long Beach Workplace Retaliation Cases: Common Examples

There are various ways in which an employer may illegally retaliate against an employee who has reported issues in the workplace. The following are just a few noteworthy examples:

  • Wrongful termination of employment
  • Demotion
  • Excessive or unnecessary disciplinary action
  • Assigning an employee to undesirable shifts
  • Assigning undesirable work duties to an employee
  • Excluding an employee from professional development opportunities
  • Harassing an employee or allowing an employee to be the victim of harassment without intervening
  • Giving an employee negative performance reviews despite an employee’s performance not having changed in any genuine manner
  • Denying an employee raises and/or promotions they’ve earned

Don’t worry if you’re unsure whether your employer’s behavior violates California’s employment laws. A Long Beach retaliation lawyer can answer any questions you may have about this topic.

How a Long Beach Retaliation Law Firm Can Help You

Your goals when taking legal action after being the victim of retaliation can vary depending on the specific way in which an employer retaliated against you. For example, if you lost your job due to being a whistleblower, you might file a claim or lawsuit to seek reinstatement. Or, you could seek financial compensation if the manner in which you retaliated caused you to endure significant economic hardship.
Those are just a few examples. Regardless, proving that an employer didn’t have a valid reason to fire you, deny you a promotion, or otherwise subject you to mistreatment can be challenging if you lack the necessary expertise.
The experts at our Long Beach retaliation law firm can improve your chances of winning a case by:

  • Investigating the matter to gather evidence of retaliation
  • Interviewing coworkers and other involved parties to strengthen your case
  • Reviewing your compensable losses to demonstrate why you’re owed justice
  • Filing your claim or lawsuit by a deadline if necessary
