a lot of employees ask themselves the
question if they will be retaliated
against if they actually complain uh
regarding what happened to them at a
workplace um and the simple answer is no
there’s no way that employ that an
employer can retaliate against you for
actually pursuing what your rights are
as an employee if retaliation occurs it
actually gives you ground for an even
bigger compensation however these cases
are incredibly fact specific so before a
client actually decides that they were
discriminated against and that they’re
they have the right to sue it would be
really good to discuss that with an
attorney perhaps even before you bring
it to your own hr department because you
know if you bring it to your hr
department may be irreversible however
if you speak with an attorney
consultations are usually free and they
can tell you if the facts that you
uh were participating in actually give
rise to to litigation but there should
be no retaliation if those facts do give
rise to litigation there should be no
retaliation and actually proper
procedure should be followed when it
comes to handling an employee that’s
complaining of being discriminated
against
Brooklyn, NY labor & employment attorney Nicole Brencki explains whether or not you can be fired for filing a complaint.
