Retaliation laws in California, commonly known as whistleblower laws, make it illegal for employers to retaliate (or take revenge) against employees by terminating them and taking other adverse employment actions for engaging in protected activity under the law.
What Is a Protected Activity?
A protected activity is complaining about something that is protected by law. Examples of employees engaging in protected activities are:
- Filing a discrimination or harassment lawsuit or administrative claim
- Participating, supporting, or testifying as a witness for an employee who files a lawsuit or an administrative claim
- Complaining about something illegal, such as wage and hour violations, discrimination, harassment, safety in the workplace, etc.
- Requesting a reasonable accommodation because of religion or a disability
Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual harassment is not the only kind of harassment that is protected under the law. If you have experienced any kind of harassment or a hostile work environment, let the firm help you stand up for your rights.
California’s employment laws were created to protect employees from workplace harassment based on their protected status. A protected status would be any of the following (but not limited to):
- Sex / Gender
- Race / Color
- Age (40+)
- Disability
- National Origin / Ancestry
- Marital Status
- Sexual Orientation
- Military and Veteran Status
