San Diego Retaliation Lawyers

Experienced California Employment Attorneys

Retaliation in the workplace can occur for a number of reasons. The first that may come to mind is retaliation for whistle blower complaints (when an employee reports or threatens to report an employer’s illegal activity to the proper authority), but additional retaliation may occur from an employee taking pregnancy, family or medical leave as well as supporting a co-worker’s complaint against the employer.

Retaliation is an illegal practice and must be weeded out of San Diego workplaces. Let Legion Counsel help you find the best qualified employment attorney to fit your needs. Employment attorneys recommended by Legion Counsel have worked hard to win retaliation cases, thereby effectively protecting the rights of employees who otherwise may have remained without a job or with a lower salary – simply due to exercising their legal rights as an employee. Counsel is committed to making your employer pay for their wrongdoings.

Retaliation in California

Retaliation can take on many forms in California workplaces:

• Termination of employment (firing)
• Demotion (loss of responsibility or status)
• Loss of wages; pay cuts
• Termination under the guise of “downsizing”
• Loss of promotion
• Any other punishment, penalties, or unfair treatment

An employer may practice retaliation by unfairly and illegally punishing or firing an employee in order to create an example and discourage other employees from doing the same. They are effectively making workplaces unsafe for employees. If you cannot report sexual harassment without suffering a pay cut or the loss of your job, would you risk it at all?

Fortunately, we can help. The employment attorneys we recommend know how to not only attain monetary compensation for lost wages but can also help you to keep your job with your employer and improve your working conditions.
