Things to Consider

When an employer retaliates against you by terminating or otherwise discriminating against an employee, you may have a claim for retaliation; however, an employee seldom states that a person is being terminated as retaliation for participating in a protected activity. These are some things to take note of as forms of circumstantial evidence of retaliation:

- Length of time between participation in a protected activity and adverse employment action;
- Comments by employer, including supervisors, about participation in the protected activity; and
- Whether other employees have or have not experienced adverse action for participating in a protected activity.

Standing up for your or others’ rights should never lead to discrimination, but when it does, The Law Office of George Moschopoulos, APC can help.
