Federal and state law prohibits unjustified retaliatory actions in the workplace. As an employee, you should never accept retaliation after you’ve made your voice heard.
Edel Cuadra is an experienced lawyer who fights for employees who feel they have been wrongfully terminated or intimidated after filing a complaint with their employer. Various Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulations protect your rights as an employee. When your employer violates those rights, Cuadra Law helps you get the justice you deserve.
No one should have to work in an environment that punishes them for speaking up for themselves or a co-worker. Let Edel Cuadra put his decades of experience to work for your retaliation case.
You should know the potential for retaliation in any workplace.
Even small steps, such as reporting an incident, can trigger retaliatory action from coworkers, managers, supervisors, or owners.
Any retaliatory action taken out of intimidation or revenge may be a labor law violation at the federal and state levels. Retaliatory actions that may lead to a lawsuit include, but are not limited to wrongful termination, demotions, transfers to an undesired role, salary or benefit reductions, or denial of pay increases.
Examples include:
The EEOC and Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) require you to file documentation outlining your retaliation claims.
Filing a charge means meeting stringent deadlines under federal and state laws. Federal law states you must file your charge within 300 days of the documented retaliation. Texas law only grants you 180 days to file. Once approved by the EEOC or TWC, the charge gives you the opening to file a lawsuit against your employer (60 days at a state level, 90 days at the federal level).
