How we assess a claim
We compare what the employer said with what happened. Timing, changes in treatment, workplace records, and the treatment of coworkers can help explain the decision.
03
When to call a lawyer
Call if the conduct is continuing, your employer is threatening discipline or termination, or a filing deadline may be approaching. Bring the complaint, the employer's response, and a short timeline if you have them.
