Employment Retaliation Attorneys in Long Beach, California

At Rise Law Firm, our retaliation lawyers in Long Beach believe all California employees have the right to work in a safe, discrimination, and harassment-free environment.

Unfortunately, there are times when employees must report unlawful activity or unsafe working conditions to ensure everyone is treated fairly and without injury.

When these employees step up to make their workplaces better, it is unlawful for their employers to retaliate against them for coming forward.

At Rise Law Firm, our Los Angeles County retaliation attorneys are here to help if you have experienced a hostile work environment or have been terminated after making a complaint about discrimination, harassment, unfair wage practices, or unsafe working conditions.

What are the Most Common Reasons Employers Retaliate Against Their Employees?

Employees who are seeking a better workplace often report behavior that is offensive, illegal, or excessively interfering with their ability to do their jobs.

Some of the most common issues that lead to retaliatory behavior in our California workplaces stem from:

  • Reporting illegal or fraudulent activity by the employer
  • Refusing to engage in fraudulent or unlawful activities
  • Reporting instances of discrimination or harassment in the workplace
  • Reporting wage violations
  • Assisting other workers with complaints or lawsuits about illegal activity

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and our local California labor agencies provide strong protections for employees against retaliation in any of these scenarios, so our clients can pursue their employers for justice.

What are the Most Common Types of Retaliation in California?

In California, the most severe type of employment retaliation occurs when employers terminate an employee for reporting unlawful behavior.

With our protective laws in place, firing an employee for whistleblowing is difficult to do, which is why employers are inventing different approaches to punish employees, so they are more difficult to identify.

Common types of retaliation in California may include, but is not limited to:

  • Negative performance reviews
  • Unfavorable job relocations or shift assignments
  • Increased workloads for the employee
  • Demotions from their job
  • Unwarranted decrease in salary
  • Denial of raises or promotions
  • Leaving an employee out of training opportunities
