Yes, unfortunately, sometimes employees who report workplace harassment can face retaliation, including wrongful termination. This kind of retaliation is illegal under both federal and California state laws. Employees have the right to report harassment without fear of losing their jobs or facing any adverse consequences.

If you believe you've been wrongfully terminated after reporting harassment, it’s important to take action quickly. First, gather any evidence you have — emails, witness statements, notes from conversations, or anything that documents your experience and the timeline. Then, consider filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).

It’s also wise to consult an experienced employment law firm that understands retaliation cases.
