The California Fair Employment and Housing Act protects workers' rights in California. An employer may not demote, suspend, terminate or harass any employee because that employee engaged in what is called "protected activities."
Retaliation Is Against the Law
This means that you may not be retaliated against for reporting, protesting, resisting or otherwise opposing unlawful discrimination and harassment in your workplace.
Follow Timelines and Procedure to Protect Your Rights
If you have suffered from retaliation, there is a timeline and a procedure you must follow in order to exercise your right to file a claim. For instance, you need to send a letter of complaint in writing to your manager, human resources department and the owner of the business. Review your company's employee handbook to learn more about how your company handles retaliation matters.
