Experienced Law Firm Handling Employer Retaliation Claims
Many people are afraid to report incidents of discrimination, sexual harassment or other violations of their rights because they are afraid their employer will retaliate against them. If your employer takes retaliatory measures against you for exercising your rights, you may be able to seek compensation from your employer.
At the law firm of Joshua M. Bloom & Associates, P.C., our Pittsburgh retaliation attorneys represent employees throughout western Pennsylvania, including but not limited to the communities of Mt. Lebanon, Monroeville and New Kensington. These cases often arise as part of allegations of sexual harassment, claims of discrimination, actions taken against whistleblowers in qui tam situations, unpaid overtime, claims made under workers' compensation, and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). We will evaluate your case for free and explain your options to you.
What Is Employer Retaliation?
Employer retaliation consists of any adverse action your employer takes against you for engaging in a protected activity, such as reporting a violation of your rights. Common examples of discriminatory retaliation include:
- Demotion or taking away job duties
- Lowering pay or taking away benefits
- A transfer to a less desirable location or shift
- Refusing to promote
- Creating a hostile work environment
- Wrongful termination or firing
What Compensation May I Receive if My Employer Retaliates Against Me?
If you are a victim of retaliation, you may be entitled to several forms of compensation, including back pay, lost benefits, job reinstatement, lost future pay and benefits, damages for emotional distress and punitive damages. Our Pennsylvania employment law lawyers will thoroughly investigate your claim and will fight tirelessly to help you get full and fair compensation for what you have endured.
