California Workplace Retaliation Lawyers

It is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee because the employee engaged in “whistleblowing” or a “protected activity”. Under California and federal law, protected activity includes a wide range of conduct ranging from an employee complaining about behavior the employee believes is unlawful to an employee taking a protected leave of absence or exercising other legal rights. Employers are also prohibited from discouraging employees to make complaints or exercise their legal rights.

Employees may succeed in retaliation litigation even without direct evidence of retaliation. Indeed, retaliation cases often arise when an employer takes adverse action against a worker in the weeks or months following that worker’s complaining about wages, working conditions, or company conduct.
