Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Georgia

Retaliation for Harrassment Claim

I filed a harrassment claim about a (now) former coworker. The coworker was fired, but my supervisors are now mad at me because I made mention that their response was not sutible for me. (They laughed at my complaints). They held a meeting and said that everyone's hours are being cut. However, only mine and my witness's hours are being cut and two others are getting overtime. If this continues, would this count as retaliation/backlash? Would it hold up in court if I choose to go that route?

Re: Retaliation for Harrassment Claim

It depends on the specific nature of your harassment complaint. If the conduct you were complaining about could reasonably be interpreted to be a violation of the law (for example, severe and pervasive sexual harassment), then your complaint was protected activity and the law prohibits the employer from retaliating against you for making it. I would be happy to discuss this with you in further detail. If you would call me at the number listed in my profile below, I will give you a free consultation by phone.
