RETALIATION
If you complain about discrimination or harassment or other workplace violations on Long Island or in New York City, your employer cannot take any action that adversely affects your employment because of your complaints. These actions include discipline, negative evaluations, warnings, salary reduction, demotion, or firing. Retaliation may also be more subtle, such as changing work shifts or job assignments, or may involve hostile attitudes or behavior by managers, supervisors, or coworkers toward an individual who has made a complaint.
Federal, state and local employment laws prohibit employers from retaliating against employees who complain or who seek to enforce their employment rights. In addition, New York City’s Human Rights Act provides greater protection against subtle forms of retaliation. The damages that can be awarded depend on the type of retaliation claim and generally include back pay, front pay, lost benefits, reinstatement, compensatory and punitive damages.
If you have been the victim of workplace harassment or your employment rights have been violated for making a complaint, you need the Law Offices of Yale Pollack by your side to protect your rights. Our firm has extensive experience protecting employees from the lingering humiliation of harassment and retaliatory acts of employers. We also advise employers about how to create policies that will prevent harassment and defend them against harassment and retaliation claims.
