Reporting workplace discrimination takes courage. It shouldn’t take your job along with it.
What Is Workplace Retaliation?
Are you experiencing retaliation at work because you:
- Filed a charge or compliant of workplace discrimination?
- Participated or are participating in an EEO investigation?
- Provided information in response to an employer’s internal investigation into a coworker’s misconduct?
- Sat or are sitting for a deposition in a discrimination case?
If so, you may be experiencing workplace retaliation, and your employer may be breaking the law.
What Are Examples of Workplace Retaliation?
Retaliation can take many forms, including but not limited to:
- Termination
- Demotion
- Denial of a promotion
- Refusal to hire
- Transfer
- Assignment to undesirable job duties
Legal Protections Against Retaliation
Federal, state and local anti-discrimination laws prohibit an employer from retaliating against an employee because that employee opposed conduct that he or she reasonably believed constituted unlawful discrimination.
The same laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age and disability also prohibit retaliation against individuals who oppose unlawful discrimination or participate in an employment discrimination proceeding.
