Timing is Important –
In retaliation cases, timing is everything. Many people do not realize that under most employers’ retaliation policies you must complain about retaliation each time it occurs. If you do not do this correctly, your retaliation case may be thrown out of court. Retaliation laws mandate a set time limit to file a formal complaint. This time limit is short; an experienced Los Angeles workplace retaliation attorney can help ensure that your retaliation claim is properly handled. Contact the Leichter Law Firm, APC today.
Los Angeles Retaliation and Whistleblowers –
Retaliation also happens when employees are terminated for speaking out against illegal behaviors or actions on behalf of employees or their employer, commonly known as whistleblowing. Whistleblower law is somewhat different from other types of retaliation in that there are different laws and regulations which apply to their employment; the Leichter Law firm handles all types of retaliation claims throughout Southern California.
