Employer Retaliation Lawyers
Employees in the Harrisburg area and across Pennsylvania deserve to have a workplace environment that is safe and ethical. If you were fired, demoted or mistreated after reporting unsafe work conditions, you might have a workplace retaliation case. Employer retaliation is when employers unjustly punish a worker for exercising their protected rights, and it is illegal under state and federal law.
Weisberg Cummings, P.C. is an employment law firm specializing in employer retaliation cases. Speak with one of our experienced lawyers to learn about your legal options for protecting your career.
When Should You Consult With an Employer Retaliation Lawyer?
Employers can discipline or terminate workers for nonretaliatory and nondiscriminatory reasons. However, you may have an employer retaliation case if you are being retaliated against after exercising your legally protected rights.
Workplace retaliation may happen after speaking out against:
- Sexual harassment: Sexual harassment includes coercion, inappropriate comments, sexually charged advances and other behaviors from another person that create an uncomfortable work environment.
- Unsafe working conditions: Unsafe working conditions occur when an employer breaks labor laws and safety codes, creating a dangerous environment for workers.
- Discrimination: Discrimination is unfair treatment due to a person’s religion, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity or other legally protected factors.
Good faith complaints of illegal harassment or discrimination are protected from retaliation whether you make the complaint on your own behalf or on behalf of a co-worker. Employers are also prohibited from retaliating against you for participating in an investigation of potentially illegal harassment or discrimination.
Consult with an employer retaliation lawyer if you have experienced any of the following:
- You reported unethical, unsafe or hostile workplace conditions to your employer and were treated differently afterward in a negative way.
- After reporting these conditions, you were demoted, denied work, assigned different tasks, given an unfavorable performance review or fired.
- Your employer made no changes to improve the workplace after you filed the complaint.
- Your employer holds you to different standards than others in your position.
Workplace retaliation cases can be difficult to prove since employers often deny retaliatory actions. If you have a viable case, the qualified employer retaliation attorneys at Weisberg Cummings will help you gather evidence and speak to witnesses, and we will represent you in court to pursue justice for this unfair treatment.
