We Are With You Every Step of the Way
At Holman Schiavone, LLC, our retaliation lawyers exclusively represent employees in Kansas and Missouri employee rights cases. Retaliation claims are based on any adverse action that your employer takes against you because you complained about harassment, discrimination, a health and safety violation, a wage and hour violation, or some other violation of a workplace law.
Employment laws also protect you if you are a participant in an investigation of any workplace law violations. Your employer cannot punish you for giving a statement to a government agency that is looking into another employee’s discrimination claim or a general workplace safety problem.

What Is an Adverse Action?
The definition of “adverse action” can be very broad. The most common complaints deal with demotion, discipline, firing, salary reduction, negative evaluation or changes in job assignment. It can also include hostility toward you by your employer.
Potential liability for retaliation is similarly broad. Even if you are not in a class normally protected by discrimination statutes or a victim of the original behavior that led to the complaint, “whistleblower” laws legally protect you from retaliation. In fact, even after you stop working for the employer in question, retaliation in the form of a negative job reference can still trigger your right to sue. It is important to contact hostile work environment lawyers in Kansas City to learn your rights.
