If there is something wrong with your workplace, it is only natural that you report it to your superiors. However, what do you in cases where you want to report your superiors or their actions? Who do you talk to?
If you call Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), you may receive protection against discrimination, abuse or any type of mistreatment at work. As a result, you may end up getting retaliated against, and lose your job in the process.
Once you have lost your job, what are your options? As a victim of workplace retaliation, you should be aware of your legal rights. First, you have to prove that you were actually a victim of workplace retaliation. Here are some tips on how you can do it.
Ask For the Reason Behind Your Termination
Normally, you should ask your employer to provide you with a notice of termination, unless you already received one. Does the reason behind your termination justify the deed? Were you actually terminated for the “things listed” in the notice of termination?
The best and the wisest thing you can do is speak with one of the experienced wrongful termination attorneys in Los Angeles; call JML Law, schedule your free initial consultation and learn whether or not you were actually retaliated against. Once JML Law attorneys provide you with a free case review, they will advise you on what to do next. Remember that your chance is hiring an attorney, as you may lose the case and potential compensation if you choose to go alone against your employer and his/her attorneys.
Are you Being Forced to Quit?
In some cases, you don’t have to be terminated to become a victim of retaliation. In fact, you may not even feel or see it, but your employer may apply pressure on you through work or by changing your work environment. For you, it may look like another busy day in the office, but even the slightest change is worth consulting with Los Angeles retaliation attorneys, as it may be the result of your report.
Remember to remain calm, and don’t let anyone intimidate you. Know your rights, and if you can, record any conversation that takes place (emails included), as it may be the evidence that you need to settle the case in your favor.
Threats, Misinformation, Discrimination
The most common types of retaliation (besides immediate termination) involve discrimination in the workplace, threats and spreading false information about you. If you start getting treated differently, get discriminated or mistreated at work, you are definitely being retaliated against, and should immediately seek help from one of the Retaliation Attorneys in Los Angeles. Don’t let a day go by; instead, act immediately and bring your employer to justice.
