Arizona Attorney: Employer Retaliation Cases
Retaliation on the job is illegal in most situations in Arizona after employees have complained about sexual harassment, filed discrimination claims or reported wrongdoing in whistleblower cases. If you have been targeted for retaliation at work (demotion, firing or humiliation) after you filed a complaint or protested illegal behavior at the workplace, contact an experienced employment lawyer at our firm.
Retaliation Adds Insult to Injury
Suffering from sexual harassment or being denied rightful medical leave on the job are challenging enough circumstances for a worker. Retaliation by an employer may take many forms, including retaliatory discharge, demotion, marginalization/ostracism or failure to promote as expected.
When an employee follows proper complaint procedures after being wrongfully treated and is penalized for complaining about harassment or discrimination, or for taking leave for childbirth or the death of a parent, the employer may be guilty of retaliation.
