Experienced Memphis Retaliation Attorneys Ready to Assist You

Donati Law, PLLC is well-versed in handling workplace retaliation claims on behalf of employees. Our Memphis employment law lawyers have been a part of successful, landmark retaliation cases at the U.S. Supreme Court and Tennessee Supreme Court. Retaliation generally takes the form of a termination, demotion, or harassment. But even a lateral reassignment can be retaliation if the reassignment impacts your eligibility for promotions or advancement. Various federal and state laws provide employees protection from retaliation by their employer as long as the employee has engaged in conduct protected by the law.

Protected Conduct: Understanding Your Rights

  • Opposing workplace discrimination against you or another employee
  • Assisting an investigation of discrimination
  • Refusing to engage in conduct you believe to be unlawful
  • Asking your employer about your legal rights
  • Taking protected medical leave
  • Requesting accommodations for a disability
  • Associating with other people of a certain race, sex, national origin, or religion, or otherwise exercising your rights under the law

What Are the Rights of Employees?

Employees also have the right to organize without employer retaliation. This right includes the right to join or assist labor unions, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other activities for mutual aid or protection. If you "blow the whistle" on an employer's illegal activity, you may also have whistleblower protection. A number of state and federal statutes include anti-retaliation protection for individuals who report violations of the law. In some cases, the law rewards individuals who blow the whistle on illegal activity.
