FAQ

Gather Evidence of Retaliation You've faced or witnessed some form of illegal harassment or discrimination. You took part in a protected activity. In response, your employer took adverse action against you (demotion, termination, etc.). As a result of this adverse action, you've suffered specific damages.

In order to establish a retaliation claim under Title VII, a plaintiff must demonstrate that: (1) she engaged in statutorily protected activity; (2) her employer took a materially adverse employment action against her; and (3) the protected activity and adverse job action are causally connected.

Factors needed to prove your retaliation claim include: Documentation of protected activity. Records of the dates, times, and nature of the protected activity the retaliation is connected to. This includes any formal complaints filed or reports made, which serve as concrete evidence of the protected activity.

In fact, the title defines an employee as simply "an individual employed by an employer." Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.

Wronged employees have three ways of proving their employers intended to discriminate: circumstantial evidence, direct evidence, and pattern and practice. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that proves a fact by inference, as opposed to direct evidence which directly proves a fact.

If you are being treated unfairly in the workplace, there are a number of steps you can take in order to protect your rights: Document The Unfair Treatment. Report The Unfair Treatment. Stay Away From Social Media. Take Care Of Yourself. Contact An Experienced Lawyer.
