Video Transcript: Discriminated Against Work
It’s a painful situation. It’s hard, and that realization is difficult for clients to come to, but when that happens, document everything that you can. Make notes of everything that’s happened. Keep a journal. Have it fresh in your mind when you talk to a lawyer about it. When there are records associated with that, make sure you either identify those records or can take them into your possession. It’s really important early in that process to find a lawyer that can help you navigate through either raising those complaints to the employer and making sure that appropriate action happens, corrective measures, or if the employer doesn’t do that, make sure you find an advocate that can help you hold the employer accountable through whatever step of the process is required. That’s what we do here at Schaefer Halleen.
