WORKPLACE RETALIATION IN CALIFORNIA
In California, if you report an illegal incident that occurs in your place of work, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you because of your reporting. In a retaliation case against Yale University, a drama teacher alleged that she had been the victim of sexual harassment. When she reported the sexual harassment (and sexual harassment is against the law) to her supervisor, she alleged that she was dismissed from her position as a teacher.
Work place retaliation can occur in many ways. For example, if your employer demotes you, takes away certain benefits that are provided to other employees, or fires you for reporting an illegal activity, such as sexual harassment, you might be the victim of retaliating by your employer. CA and federal law protect you, the employee, from such retaliation.
