What Qualifies As Workplace Retaliation? Know Your Rights

What qualifies as workplace retaliation? Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer takes an adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, filing an EEOC complaint, or participating in a workplace investigation. Examples may include unfair demotion, termination, reduced hours, or other actions that could discourage employees from exercising their rights.
