Retaliation Attorney
Retaliation is an act by an employer, either economically tangible or more subtle, in an attempt to have an adverse affect on an employee who has objected to sexual harassment, discrimination, or other illegal activity. Retaliation may also occur where a woman has taken leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. If you have been the victim of retaliation, Hollifield Legal Centre for Women is available to provide you with the information and legal support you need to protect your rights.
We protect the rights of women who object to harassment, discrimination, and other illegal activities. If you report a violation of law, you deserve protection. Contact our offices to learn more about your rights and remedies involving retaliation and whistleblower law.
Our retaliation lawyer can assist you with any of the following:
Retaliation
One type of retaliation is where the victim can show a tangible adverse employment action including termination, a pay-cut, or another demonstrable act that caused economic injury or significantly altered the terms and conditions of the employment relationship. If you complained about an employer's illegal actions and were transferred to a different location or you lost certain benefits, you could claim that you suffered from an act of retaliation. Retaliation also includes more subtle acts, such as changes to your work shift. The court will look at the context and the particular circumstances surrounding your claim to determine the effects of an act of retaliation. You may have had child care needs and now a retaliatory shift change prevents you from managing those needs.
Whistleblower Law
Whistleblower law protects certain people who take an affirmative step to object to a practice that violates a law, rule, or regulation. For instance, an individual who objects to sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, and other illegal activities would likely be protected by Florida's whistleblower laws. At Hollifield Legal Centre for Women, we have successfully protected women in cases involving a variety of illegal acts. If you are interested in learning more about whistleblower protection, please contact Hollifield Legal Centre for Women.
