Retaliation Lawyers in Denver Helping You Get Your Job Back, Recover Compensation After Unlawful Retaliation

Workplace discrimination and unfair treatment by an employer due to race, sex, age, color, religious beliefs, national origin, and sexual orientation are some of the primary issues facing employees today. Discrimination claims have increased by nearly 200 percent in Colorado workplaces in the last two years alone, and employer retaliation claims top the list as the number one dispute.

When these issues are present, employees have the right to challenge a hostile work environment or poor workplace behavior that supports wrongful termination, age discrimination, or unlawful retaliation, as a result.

Retaliation is the response from an employer when an employee files a complaint and it results in an adverse employment reaction. Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for protected activities under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and reacts with demotions, discipline, wrongful termination, salary reduction, or job or shift reassignment, among other disciplinary actions.

Workplace retaliation is personal and infringes on protected activity and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was designed to protect individuals from retaliatory hiring, retaining, or firing practices. If you’re faced with a viable retaliation claim, don’t let your employer’s adverse employment action dictate your life and career.

Our employment attorneys with Ragab Law Firm, P.C. understand employment law and can quickly determine if you have a retaliation case when you call: 303-557-2011.

What is Retaliating?

Workplace retaliation is any action taken by your employer that harms or threatens you and your job security after filing a complaint to report discrimination or other poor workplace behavior.

Employers might engage in adverse employment action with unlawful retaliation. Filing a complaint is considered protected activity and the EEOC, per federal and state law, prohibits retaliation of any kind.

Retaliation might be subtle or obvious and can be disguised as several things. Examples could include:

• Termination
• Demotion
• Salary reduction
• Assigning difficult or unpleasant work duties
• Unwarranted disciplinary measures
• Negative performance evaluations
• Giving a negative reference

Any sudden or suspicious change from your employer after filing a complaint might warrant our legal counsel as it might be considered retaliating.

What Happens When an Employer Retaliates Against Me?

Employees are free to exercise their freedom and rights and report discrimination that’s free of adverse employment action as complaints are protected activity. Retaliation is a serious legal issue and state and federal law prohibit retaliation of any kind under the Employment Act.

Employers often use retaliatory means out of anger and control when an employee files a complaint at work they might not agree with. This is especially the case if the complaint is against the manager. Retaliation claims are the number one discrimination case reported in court.

If you’ve been excluded or intentionally left out, re-assigned to a job that’s outside of your wheelhouse, passed over for a promotion and hours or pay cut, or you’ve been fired, your employer might be using retaliatory behavior to force you out.

Adverse employment action, as a result of reporting discrimination, causes uncomfortable working conditions, impacts employee morale and job satisfaction, hinders productivity and creates emotional distress, discomfort, and trauma.

When an employer retaliates against you, you have options to protect yourself and also the means to get your job back, or recover lost wages, if you were illegally terminated or disciplined after filing a claim.
