Retaliation Laws

Retaliation laws protect individuals from adverse actions when they report bullying or harassment or participate in related investigations. If someone complains about mistreatment, it's illegal for employers or others to punish them, such as by firing, demoting, or ostracizing. These laws ensure that people can speak out without fear of negative consequences, promoting a safer and more respectful environment. It's essential for organizations to handle complaints appropriately and support those who come forward. Violating these laws can result in serious penalties for the offending party.
