Austin Retaliation Attorney, Austin Retaliation Lawyer | The Law Offices of Gregory D. Jordan

Retaliation

There are numerous state and federal laws which prohibit employers from retaliating against employees that exercise certain legal rights. For example, it is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee that files a worker’s compensation claim, an employee that opposes illegal discrimination or makes a claim of discrimination, or an employee that refuses to engage in an illegal act. Unlawful workplace retaliation may take the form of a job termination, or may be something short of termination that affects the terms or conditions of employment.

Certain laws pertaining to employment retaliation only apply to employers that have more than a specific number of employees. Some apply to all employers. Some retaliation claims must first be made with the EEOC, TWC or Department of Labor. Others can be filed with the court without initially making an administrative claim. A good Austin retaliation attorney will have extensive knowledge and experience in these areas. We do.
