Employer Retaliation Can Take Many Forms
Employer retaliation can take many forms, and the best defense in these cases is a strong offense backed by sound fundamentals. Employees often attempt to assert employer retaliation claims when they have been demoted, are moved to a different shift or less desirable location, during or after termination and/or if they have received an unsatisfactory job reference.
Many retaliation cases are brought by employees who are actually in the midst of disciplinary actions, or those who have reported a concern about policies and procedures or practices in your company. They believe they are immune from any accountability or responsibility whatsoever for a period after filing their complaint.
