Employer Retaliation in New York

Rochester Employee Rights Defense Firm

What exactly is employer retaliation and when is it illegal? The award-winning Rochester employment lawyers at The Glennon Law Firm, P.C. have helped many clients facing unlawful cases of employer retaliation.

Protected activities include:

  • Pursuing deserved benefits
  • Complaining about unlawful discrimination or harassment in the workplace
  • Filing a discrimination or harassment claim against the employer
  • Filing a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claim against the employer
  • "Whistleblowing" or alerting authorities to illegal conduct on the part of the employer
  • Forming or joining a labor union or attending union events
  • Refusing to join or resigning from a labor union

Prohibited acts of retaliation on the part of the employer can include the following:

  • Termination
  • Demotion
  • Refusal to hire
  • Denial of promotion
  • Threats
  • Unfounded derogative evaluations or references
  • Heightened scrutiny
  • Reduced compensation
