Federal Law Protects You in Cases of Retaliation
The law protects employees from being penalized by employers in cases where employee rights have been violated. Adverse actions that an employer might take as a retaliatory measure against such an employee include disciplinary actions, demotion, pay reduction, negative employment performance evaluations or reports, termination of employment, warnings, changes in job assignment, changes in shift assignments, and more.
Retaliation may also come in the subtler form of hostile attitudes or behavior directed at the complaining employee from his or her co-workers, supervisors, managers, human resources personnel, and others in the workplace, making the work environment extremely unpleasant and inhospitable.
Even if your work-related complaint turns out to be inaccurate, you cannot be punished for making a formal complaint about what you believe to be a workplace violation. If this describes your situation, it is recommended that you get the experienced legal help you need from a Washington DC federal employment lawyer at the firm immediately.
