FAQ

Adverse Action Was Taken Against an Employee Adverse actions must be significant enough to deter a reasonable employee from exercising their legal rights. Recognizing these adverse actions is key to building a strong retaliation case.

Retaliatory actions are broadly defined to harassing behavior, significant changes to job duties or working conditions, and even threats to take personnel actions. Retaliation against employees who engage in protected activities under Personnel Bulletin 18-01 is also prohibited by that policy.

Again, there are three elements employees have to prove: First: The employee engaged in protected activity. Second: The employer took an adverse employment action against the employee. Third: The employer took against the employee because of the protected activity.

Retaliation occurs when an employer or superior punishes an employee for engaging in a legally protected act. These protected acts can range from reporting a safety code violation, reporting fraudulent activity, taking family leave for a pregnancy, or even reporting harassment or discrimination.

Although the specific evidence can vary from case to case, your attorney can help you prove that: 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.).

“To establish a prima facie case of FEHA retaliation, a plaintiff must allege, in order ultimately to show: (i) that she engaged in a protected activity; (ii) the employer subjected her to an adverse employment action; and (iii) a causal link existed between her protected activity and the employer's action.” Ayala v.

The new law creates a rebuttable presumption of retaliation for certain Labor Code violations if an employee faces discipline or termination within 90 days of making a protected complaint.

To prove retaliation, you must establish a causal connection between your protected activity and the adverse action taken by your employer. Provide evidence showing that the adverse action occurred shortly after you engaged in protected activity, demonstrating a direct link between the two events.
