A workplace concern doesn’t always arrive at a convenient moment. Someone may still need their income, value their role, or want their employer to actually address what happened — and none of that means they have to wait.
That’s a misconception we run into often. You don’t have to leave your job before taking action. We help workers facing sexual harassment, retaliation, pregnancy discrimination, and other forms of employment discrimination while they’re still employed.
The video below addresses this directly.
Still Employed Doesn’t Mean Out of Options
Whether someone is still working isn’t what determines whether they can file a complaint. As the video explains, “your status as an employee has nothing to do with your ability to file a complaint.” The facts of the situation and the applicable laws are what matter — not whether you’re still showing up to work.
Not every situation calls for the same next step, either. Some employees want help navigating their employer’s internal complaint process. Others need guidance on requesting reasonable accommodations or want to understand whether a formal legal complaint makes sense. “Sometimes we are helping them file an internal complaint,” the video notes — legal guidance is often most valuable before someone has made any decisions about their job.
We Represent Workers. That’s It.
Talking through a workplace problem is easier when you know whose side your attorneys are on. We represent workers only — never employers, never corporations. That means every conversation stays focused on your rights and what options are actually available to you, without any pressure to assume that leaving is the only way forward.
