Did You Know
Employer Retaliation Is Illegal
It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against any employee who brings forward a valid complaint, safety issue, discriminatory issue, unlawful activity or request for protected leave. Retaliation may be in the form of dismissal, demotion or harassment.
You Have Rights
Employment Discrimination Is Illegal
It is against the law for your employer to treat you differently or less favorably than your co-workers because of your race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age or genetic information.

Our Specialization
Wrongful Termination Is Illegal
If you have been terminated for any of these reasons, you may have a claim:
Retaliation for Exercising Legal Rights
- Engaging in legally protected conduct (e.g., whistleblowing, filing a complaint about workplace violations).
- Exercising rights under the law (e.g., requesting medical leave, demanding proper wages, refusing to work off the clock).
- Reporting a work-related injury.
- Participating in the unemployment process.
- Expressing an opinion on an alternative workweek election.
Discrimination & Medical Protections
- Pregnancy or needing medical accommodation, including lactation breaks (e.g., requesting modified duties during pregnancy, asking for time to pump breast milk).
- Disclosing a positive COVID-19 test, diagnosis, or order to quarantine/isolate.
- Advocating for medically appropriate healthcare.
- Performing military duty.
Employer Overreach & Unlawful Workplace Demands
- Refusing to sign an arbitration agreement.
- Refusing to lift a patient due to safety concerns.
- Updating personal information (e.g., name change, immigration status, dependency status).
- Refusing to disclose social media information.
- Having wages subject to garnishment.
- Refusing to work hours beyond the legal maximum.
Is It Worth Your Time To Seek Legal Counsel?
If you were fired for discriminatory or retaliatory reasons, pursuing legal action could mean recovering lost wages, benefits, and damages for emotional distress. A successfully managed case may result in a settlement without ever going to court. On the other hand, if you don’t take action, you risk losing the compensation you may rightfully deserve—and your employer faces no accountability for their unlawful conduct.
Colby Law Firm can evaluate your case and help you understand your options.
