Frequently Asked Questions About Employee Retaliation
What qualifies as employee retaliation?
Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse actions against an employee for engaging in protected activities, such as reporting harassment, discrimination, wage violations, or unsafe conditions. Retaliatory acts can range from subtle workplace bullying to overt disciplinary actions or job termination.
How do I prove workplace retaliation?
To prove retaliation, you must demonstrate that you engaged in protected activity, your employer took adverse action against you, and there is a clear connection between the two events. Evidence like emails, witness statements, performance reviews, or documented complaints can significantly support your claim.
Can my employer fire me for reporting workplace issues?
No, firing an employee for reporting legitimate workplace issues is illegal and considered retaliation. If you’ve been terminated after reporting misconduct, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination and retaliation lawsuit.
