1. What is retaliation?

Retaliation is when someone punished or mistreats you because you have complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination lawsuit or investigation.

2. What are some examples of retaliation?

There are many possible forms of retaliation. Some common examples include:

· Being passed over for a promotion or raise that you would have otherwise received

· Being given undesirable work assignments or reassigned to a less desirable location

· Being denied training opportunities or access to equipment or other necessary resources

· Having your hours reduced or being placed on leave without pay

· Being terminated from your job

3. Is retaliation against the law?

Yes, retaliation is against the law. It is illegal for an employer to take any adverse action against an employee because the employee has engaged in protected activity, such as complaining about discrimination or participating in an employment discrimination lawsuit or investigation.

4. What can I do if I think I am being retaliated against?

If you believe that you are the victim of retaliation, you should contact an experienced attorney who can help evaluate your claim and protect your rights. An attorney can also help you file a charge of discrimination with the appropriate state or federal agency, if necessary.

5. Is there anything else I should know about retaliation?

Yes. It is important to remember that retaliation can occur even if the underlying complaint of discrimination is not ultimately found to be valid. In other words, an employer cannot retaliate against an employee simply because the employee has raised a claim of discrimination, even if it turns out that there was no discrimination. Similarly, an employer cannot retaliate against an employee for participating in an employment discrimination lawsuit or investigation, even if the employee is not ultimately a party to the lawsuit or investigation.

If you have been the victim of retaliation, you should contact an experienced attorney who can help protect your rights. An attorney can also help you file a charge of discrimination with the appropriate state or federal agency, if necessary.

6. What are the consequences for an employer who retaliates?

An employer who retaliates against an employee for engaging in protected activity may be subject to civil and/or criminal penalties. In addition, the employer may be required to reinstate the employee to his or her former position and provide back pay and other benefits.

7. I think I may have been retaliated against. What should I do?

If you believe that you have been the victim of retaliation, you should contact an experienced attorney who can help evaluate your claim and protect your rights. An attorney can also help you file a charge of discrimination with the appropriate state or federal agency, if necessary.

8. What are the time limits for filing a retaliation claim?

There are strict time limits for filing a retaliation claim. In most cases, you must file a charge of discrimination with the appropriate state or federal agency within 180 days of the retaliatory action. An experienced attorney can help you determine whether you have a valid claim and, if so, ensure that your claim is filed within the applicable time limit.
