You’ve reported discrimination to HR. Maybe you filed an EEOC charge on your own. Now, just a week later, your "performance" is suddenly under scrutiny, your supervisor has gone silent, and you sense the company is looking for a reason to fire you. What should you do? Come see us.

​

Federal and state anti-discrimination laws protect employees from retaliation when they engage in "protected activities," which can include:

 

• Filing or being a witness in a discrimination charge, complaint, investigation, or lawsuit

• Reporting discrimination or harassment to HR, a supervisor, or a manager

• Cooperating in an employer’s investigation of discrimination or harassment

• Refusing to follow orders that would result in discrimination, such as being asked to fire someone due to their age

• Resisting sexual advances or stepping in to protect other employees

• Requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious practice

• Asking about salary information to uncover possible wage discrimination

 

If you believe your employer is retaliating against you for engaging in any protected activity or setting you up for termination, contact us for a confidential consultation. We’ll help you find the best way forward.
