It Is Unlawful for Your Employer to Retaliate Against You After You Make a Complaint for Sexual Harassment
If you made a complaint to your human resources department or an official agency for sexual harassment or discrimination, your employer is under strict regulations not to retaliate against you in any way. If you think that things have changed in your workplace since you talked to someone about inappropriate remarks, unwanted physical contact or other forms of harassment, you are probably right. Talk to an attorney right away.

"Retaliation is very real, but sometimes it can be very hard to notice at first. No one should have to go to work in a hostile work environment.

At our firm, you have aggressive, experienced employment lawyers leading the fight." Attorney Kelly Armstrong

What Does Your Employer Gain by Retaliating?
In many cases, your employer hopes to create a hostile work environment that is so subtle that you may be the only one who notices. That's because it may only be aimed at you. By leaving you out of important meetings, keeping you off e-mail lists and not helping you do your job, you boss may hope you fail or quit. It's called constructive discharge. It's unlawful, and we know how to identify it.
