Robert Maizel is an Expert Attorney who handles Workplace Retaliation Actions

Retaliation Against Employees – Workplace Retaliation

Title VII and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act prohibit any form of retaliation against an employee for reporting wrongdoing or exercising their rights.

In order to show a prima facie case for retaliation a plaintiff must show that (1) they engaged in a protected activity; (2) the employer took adverse action against the employee; and (3) that a causal link exists between the protected activity and the discharge and/or demotion.  Kachmar v. Sun Guard Data Systems, Inc.  109 F.3d 173, 177 (3rd Cir. 1997).  To establish that the activity is protected under Title VII and State Law, the employee need not prove the merits of the underlying discrimination complaint, but on that he was acting under a good faith, reasonable belief that a violation existed.  Id.

An employee cannot maintain a claim of retaliation unless they establish the protected activity first or the perception of the protected class.  It is important to know that just because your employer took a potentially retaliatory action against you, we must first establish the protected activity, or the belief that you had a protected status.  

You must consult an attorney to establish your claim against your employer for workplace retaliation.
