As awful as discrimination, harassment, and other unlawful treatment in the workplace can be, the retaliation that follows after filing a complaint is often much worse.

You have a right to complain about unlawful treatment or activity at work, and it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you for filing a complaint or assisting others in a workplace investigation.    

Retaliation by your employer may involve:

• A reduction of hours;
• A reduction of pay or benefits; 
• Demotion;
• Relocation to a different worksite or into a position with less opportunity for advancement or promotion;
• Harassment;
• Employee Discipline;
• Poor Performance Evaluation; and/or
• Termination.

Employees who experience workplace retaliation may recover lost wages, pain and suffering, attorneys’ fees, and in some cases liquidated damages from their employer.
