Delray Beach & Boca Raton Area Retaliation Representation
Unlawful Brokerage Firm Practices
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Office (EEOC), “Retaliation is a form of discrimination involving action(s) against an individual because he or she has either
- opposed an unlawful employment practices
- made a charge, testified, assisted or participated in an investigation, proceeding or hearing involving employment discrimination.”
In the securities industry, an employee might be called to testify during FINRA, NYSE or SEC investigations. Discovering violations of industry rules and feeling obligated to report the violations can place employees in situations where they may be subjected to retaliation by employers or other employees.
Actions taken by employers to retaliate against an employee may include termination, demotion, pay reduction, denial of a bonus or some other behavior that indicates discrimination because of the employee’s opposition to unlawful conduct.
