Retaliation in the Work Place
Employees who in good faith object to or report discrimination, sexual harassment, or other unlawful conduct in the work place or who participated in such investigations cannot be subjected to retaliation by their employer for doing so. Retaliation may include termination or demotion, but it is not limited to such employment actions:
- Failure to promote or give equal consideration in promotion
- Unfair or false performance reports
- Singling employee out for harsh treatment
- Ignoring employee communication
- Demotion or decrease in pay or work hours
- Withholding wages or overtime pay
- Wrongful termination (firing)
An employee's protected activity - reporting discrimination, refusing sexual advances, or talking to authorities about a complaint - can involve acting on his or her own behalf or acting for a coworker. Regardless of the specifics of the situation, if an employee objects to or complains of illegal activity and suffers retaliation because of subjection or complaint, the employer can be held accountable.
