Common workplace retaliation scenarios

Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer disciplines a worker because he or she complained or reported any illegal activities. Some of the most common scenarios include:

It’s illegal to retaliate against employees for speaking up, even when the complaint is not true. Whether the complaint was brought to a larger organization or to HR, employees are protected under various laws.

Proving workplace retaliation

In order to prove workplace retaliation in California, you will have to first find a link between the complaint and the illegal incident. Keeping records of all events is often the most effective way to prove these two are correlated. California laws also take into account how severe the consequences of the retaliation are.
