⚖️ Can You Be Fired for Reporting Sexual Harassment? Know Your Rights.

The fear of losing your job often keeps people silent. But here’s the law: Retaliation is illegal.

🔥 What Is Retaliation?

Retaliation happens when your employer punishes you for:

  • Reporting harassment
  • Assisting in an investigation
  • Filing a legal complaint

Examples: being fired, demoted, isolated, or harassed again.

🛡️ California Law Is on Your Side

Under California and federal law, employers cannot retaliate against you for reporting misconduct. If they do, you may be entitled to:

  • Back pay and future lost wages
  • Job reinstatement
  • Emotional distress damages
  • Legal fees

📌 What Should You Do?

  1. Document the retaliation.
  2. Report it internally again if possible.
  3. Consult a qualified employment attorney right away.
