Temecula Wrongful Termination Lawyers Protecting Your Right to Speak Out
If you have been harassed or discriminated against by an employer, you have the right to speak up for yourself and file an EEOC claim or lawsuit. You also have the right to report misconduct affecting others. In fact, there are numerous federal and state laws that prohibit employers from demoting, firing or taking other adverse actions against you for exercising those rights.
At Kodam & Associates, P.C., our lawyers protect these rights and others on behalf of people in the Murrieta and Temecula area and across California. As employment attorneys, we have a detailed knowledge of the law and substantial experience representing both public and private employees wrongfully terminated or otherwise harmed by employer retaliation.
If you have a good faith belief that your complaints are legitimate (even if they turn out to be unfounded) – an employer may not retaliate against you for taking any of the following actions:
- Exposing government fraud (under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act)
- Pursuing a discrimination, sexual harassment or hostile work environment claim
- Cooperating or testifying in another individual's case against your employer
- Requesting time off work under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Filing a workers' compensation claim
- Reporting fraud, workplace safety violations, environmental pollution or other illegal activities
