Discrimination

There are several different ways to pursue a retaliation or discrimination lawsuit.

Second, the person claiming retaliation must be a relative of the individual who was fired. This is very important in retaliation lawsuits.

Under Labor Code Section 230(e), employers cannot retaliate against employees for filing a wrongful discrimination complaint. Additionally, retaliation is prohibited if the employer is aware of the employee’s protected activities or has knowledge of it. Third, if an employee is fired because of their status as a volunteer, that employee has a valid case for a retaliation lawsuit.

Retaliation claims are also extremely difficult to defend against, so you should seek legal advice. However, this is not impossible if the employer had legitimate reasons for firing an employee.

Class actions

Retaliation can be a serious matter. The public policy prohibits employers from terminating employees for exercising their legal rights, such as filing a lawsuit or refusing to pay overtime.

Evidence needed

The type of evidence needed for an employee fired in a retaliation lawsuit depends on the nature of the case. A retaliation lawsuit requires very different evidence than a breach of contract lawsuit. The employer’s history of unlawful terminations and the temporal proximity of the employee’s protected activity may indicate a wrongful termination. In some cases, the employer’s conduct could be enough to support a retaliation lawsuit.

As a general rule, any type of unlawful retaliation lawsuit requires evidence linking the protected activity to the employee’s firing. The court will generally infer a strong causal connection when an employee was fired for engaging in protected activity while failing to do so is irrelevant if the employee was terminated for doing the opposite. Furthermore, if the employer was notified of the employee’s protected activity, the employer may have acted unlawfully.
