You tell us that your employer has retaliated against you because you have complained about illegal conduct at work. The illegal conduct may involve age discrimination, race discrimination, sex discrimination, gender discrimination, national origin discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination involving gays or lesbians, failure to pay wages, salary, minimum wage or overtime, denial of pension/401(k) or health benefits or health insurance, or because you have been a whistleblower about illegal conduct. You tell us that after you complained, your employer demoted you, reduced your hours, took away job opportunities or benefits, or fired you. If you complain about illegal conduct, your employer should look into the matter and respond to you in good faith. It is illegal to punish you if you have a good faith basis to complain about conduct in violation of law. That is retaliation and its illegal under employment laws in New York State and New York City.
