Employees have a right to not be discriminated against, harassed, or retaliated against in the workplace. Employers cannot treat employees differently on the basis of any protected class (i.e., gender, age, race, national origin, religion, or disability). Similarly, employers cannot subject employees to harassment, such as sexual harassment, nor can they condone such unlawful actions. Employers are also not permitted to retaliate against employees who oppose or report discrimination, harassment, other unlawful acts, other acts that may rise to the level of a violation of public policy, or who file a worker’s compensation claim or seek medical treatment in connection with work related injuries. The lawyers at Murphy & Murphy have experience litigating all of these employment claims and more.
