New York Employee
Rights Lawyers Take Strong Legal Action
Against Employers Who Retaliate Against
Workers
Standing up
against injustice in the workplace
Doing the
right thing by bringing attention to your
employer’s illegal behavior used to be a
risky proposition. People with families to
feed had to live in fear of retaliatory acts
like termination and getting blacklisted
within their industry simply because they
did the right thing. Those days should be in
the past, as laws have changed—people are
now protected from retaliatory actions
brought on by employers. The employment law
attorneys at the New York City law firm of
Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth stand by you
every step of the way to protect you from
retaliation by your employer. When employers
illegally retaliate, we are there to hold
them accountable and recover compensation
for you.
What is
workplace retaliation?
Both New
York and federal law make it illegal to for
employers to retaliate against employees
that have become whistleblowers by reporting
their bad behavior. There are a variety of
actions employees can take that provide them
with protections from any sort of
retaliation by an employer. However, not
every type of whistleblowing is protected.
Your ability to receive retaliation
protection may depend on what you report,
how you report it and who you report it to.
You should consult with our New York City
employment law attorneys before
whistleblowing to get advised about all of
your rights and what to do to protect
yourself from retaliation.
How do
companies illegally retaliate against their
employees?
There are
few ways that employers can legally
discipline you without good cause once you
become a whistleblower. The actions
employers take are usually subtle. They do
things for the purposes of either
intimidating you into dropping your case or
punish you for doing something that has hurt
the company. Other times, management looks
at this as an opportunity to subtly make an
example out of you to other employees.
Whatever their cause for retaliation, it is
illegal and their actions entitle you to
recover monetary compensation. The most
common manifestations our NYC employee
rights attorneys see are:
-
Terminations
-
Cutting back salaries
-
Changing work schedules
-
Demoting employees
-
Issuing warnings
-
Discipline
-
Modifying job descriptions or duties
-
Hostile attitudes from management or
other employees
-
Negative performance evaluations
