In this type of intimidating situation, BDIW Law acts as a strong legal ally on your side. As experienced Tulsa employment law attorneys, we fight to protect your rights while holding at-fault employers accountable.
Our Team Is Here To Assist You Every Step Of The Way.
SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY TODAYCommon Causes of Retaliation on the Job
Retaliation on the job can occur for a number of reasons. It is often associated with whistleblower claims, in which employees report unsafe conditions on job sites or illegal practices that employers engage in. It can also involve speaking up over discriminatory actions or policies that exist in the workplace.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) provides detailed guidelines employers must follow in terms of dealing with employees fairly. It also provides a list of protected activities. This includes:
- Speaking up about discrimination on the job, such as on the basis of age, race, religious beliefs, gender, or national origin;
- Resisting sexual advances or intervening to protect others against discrimination;
- Refusing to engage in practices that would be considered discriminatory, illegal, or in violation of established safety standards;
- Reporting episodes involving harassment, illegal actions, or safety violations to supervisors or outside agencies;
- Answering questions from attorneys, lawmakers, agency investigators or others responding to reported cases.
Employers are prohibited from retaliating against workers who engage in the above types of activities. When they do, our Tulsa, OK employment law attorneys provide the trusted legal guidance and aggressive representation needed to hold them accountable in a claim.
