What Is Workplace Retaliation? 

When an employer takes negative action against an employee for participating in legally protected activities, it is known as workplace retaliation. Examples include: 

• Reporting discrimination or harassment based on race, gender, age, or disability 
• Filing a whistleblower complaint about illegal practices 
• Participating in investigations of workplace misconduct 
• Requesting accommodations for disabilities or religious beliefs 
• Taking protected leave under laws like the FMLA 

 

Retaliation can manifest as wrongful termination, demotion, reduced hours, pay cuts, exclusion from opportunities, or a hostile work environment. Our Waco attorneys at SYT Firm are here to help you understand your rights and take action.

Steps to Take If You Suspect Workplace Retaliation 

If you believe you’re facing retaliation at work, taking the right steps can strengthen your case. Here’s what to do: 

• Document Everything: Record details of incidents, including dates, times, individuals involved, and any related communications (emails, texts, or memos). 
• Review Company Policies: Check your employee handbook for reporting procedures and follow them if it is safe to do so. 
• Preserve Evidence: Save copies of performance reviews, pay stubs, or any documents showing changes in your employment status. 
• Consult an Attorney Early: Contact SYT to evaluate your case and protect your rights. 
• File a Claim: Our attorneys can help you file a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and pursue a lawsuit if needed. 
• Important Deadlines: You typically have 180 days in Texas to file a charge with the EEOC or 300 days if the accusation involves a state agency, such as the TWC. Act fast because missing these dates could compromise your claim.
