Employer Retaliation

Employer retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activities, such as reporting discrimination, filing a complaint, or participating in an investigation. This can include actions like firing, demotion, reduced hours, or unfair treatment. Retaliation is illegal in many jurisdictions, as it discourages employees from voicing concerns or exercising their rights. It's important for organizations to maintain a safe environment where employees can speak up without fear of negative consequences.
