What Is Retaliation in the Workplace?
Retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting illegal activities, filing a complaint, or participating in an investigation. Retaliatory actions can include termination, demotion, pay cuts, or harassment. It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for:
- Reporting illegal activities: If you’ve reported violations such as fraud, safety violations, or discrimination, and are punished for it, you may have a retaliation claim.
- Filing a discrimination or harassment complaint: If you’ve filed a complaint about discrimination or harassment, retaliation against you for doing so is prohibited.
- Taking Family and Medical Leave: Employees are entitled to take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and retaliation for taking such leave is illegal.
- Whistleblowing: If you blow the whistle on illegal conduct or unsafe practices, retaliation against you for your actions can lead to a legal claim.
