Protecting Employees from Unfair Treatment. At Nasseri Legal, we are committed to defending the rights of employees who have experienced retaliation in the workplace. California law offers strong protections for workers who speak up, report violations, or stand up for what’s right. If you’ve been punished for exercising your legal rights, you may be entitled to compensation and justice.
Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in a legally protected activity. These actions can include:
Reporting wage theft, harassment, or discrimination
Filing or participating in internal investigations
Requesting medical or family leave
Refusing to participate in illegal practices
Retaliation can take many forms, such as:
Wrongful termination
Demotion or reduction in pay
Negative performance reviews without cause
Increased scrutiny or micromanagement
Being isolated or excluded from meetings
Unwanted shift or location changes
