Whistleblower Retaliation
“At will” employees can be fired for any reason. But you cannot be fired for “blowing the whistle” on your employer when your employer engaged in illegal activity like racial discrimination, sexual harassment or regulatory violations. If you think your employer retaliated against you for whistleblowing, we can help.
If you were terminated, demoted, or retaliated against for reporting your employer’s illegal conduct, call the Sexual Harassment Law Group at 916-526-2770 or e-mail us today. We will evaluate your case free of charge.
Can you guess which of the following illegal activity invokes the protection of California Whistleblower laws?
- Ignoring OSHA safety rules
- Failure to accommodate under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
- Environmental violations
- Failing to follow labor laws
- Engaging in government contracting fraud
- All of the above.
If you answered “all of the above,” you guessed right. But there are many more rules employers break, so call us today to find out if you have a claim.
Some employers don’t fire a whistleblower employee outright. Instead, the employee is harassed, ostracized, humiliated, and punished in more subtle ways.
The whistleblower may be:
- Demoted
- Reassigned
- Denied overtime
- Transferred to another work site
They may move your office, take away your parking spot, pass you over for promotion, or single you out and penalize you for trivial conduct. Does any of this sound familiar? Call us at 916-526-2770 to see if you have an actionable claim. The initial consultation is on us.
We will work with you to help you gather documentation and build a strong case. We will seek monetary damages on your behalf. You will have a team of experienced attorneys and investigators on your side.
