Employer Retaliation: Protecting The Rights Of Employees
State and federal laws provide protection to employees from employer retaliation. Employers are prohibited from retaliating against or harassing workers who have filed complaints, assisted with regulatory or criminal investigations concerning their employers or asserted their rights under the law.

You Are Allowed To Assert Your Rights In The Workplace
The law provides employees with more rights than they may think. An employer may not take adverse action against you for asserting your rights in the workplace. Some legally protected rights include:
- Asking for reasonable disability accommodations
- Requesting or taking family or medical leave
- Demanding mandatory rest and/or meal breaks
- Reporting instances of sexual harassment or discrimination to your employer
It is rare that an employer will tell you that you are being demoted or fired for stating your rights. Oftentimes, an employer will provide some sort of pretext for what is, in fact, workplace retaliation. That is why it is important to seek help from an experienced attorney. With almost 20 years of experience practicing employment law in California, attorney Klawitter is dedicated to helping you hold your employer accountable for illegal actions in the workplace.
