What Is Retaliation In The Workplace?
Workplace retaliation is a self-inflicted wound for an employer. It is seeing that an employee has successfully pursued damages and deciding to make it worse. The laws are clear, both federally and at the state level: workplaces cannot retaliate against their employees for seeking to address acts of discrimination or harassment.
If you feel that your employer is retaliating against you for blowing the whistle, filing a complaint over harassment or discrimination, or even taking leave, call us. We are ready to hear what you have to say.
Common Examples Of Workplace Retaliation
Retaliation can be overt or it can be subtle, and a lot of it may depend on perception, but here are a few clear examples of retaliation:
- Negative performance reviews
- Unfavorable assignments
- Changed hours
- Denied requests for accommodation
- Harassment and hostility from coworkers
- Blacklisting
Acts of retaliation can turn a dream job into a nightmare. People under this kind of pressure often feel that it’s better to simply move on. However, that’s what the employer wants. And you do not have to give it to them.
Is There A Statute Of Limitations To File A Workplace Retaliation Claim In New York City?
Under New York City Human Rights Law, you have one year from the date of the retaliation to file a complaint. That is also the same as the law for New York state. However, the federal time limit under Title VII is only 300 days. So, you must act fast.
