Important Answers to Your Questions of Employee Retaliation
Employers beware of employee retaliation. If any adverse employment action is taken against you because you have complained or cooperated with another employee who has complained, or reported what you understand and believe to be illegal activity by your employer, your employer may be subject to liability for violating provisions of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Labor Code, or other state law and analogous federal law. Whether your complaints of discrimination or harassment are found to be valid is unimportant. Once you complain about what you believe to be discrimination or harassment and your employer takes adverse action against you, your employer is subject to liability regardless of whether discrimination and harassment in fact occurred.

Workplace Retaliation: What Are Your Rights?
Most people know that laws exist to protect employees from discrimination and harassment. However, many don’t know these laws also protect employees from retaliation. That means employers cannot punish employees for making discrimination or harassment complaints or participating in workplace investigations.

San Francisco Employment Lawyer: Preserving Your Retaliation Claims
One of the challenging in proving the workplace retaliation claim against an employee is showing a nexus – a connection between the employee’s protected activity and the adverse employment action taken by the employer against the same employee. The employer will almost always deny retaliation and will always argue that the employee was terminated for reasons that have nothing to do with his disability or his complaints about discrimination/harassment.
