Protected activity refers to actions an employee takes that the law shields from retaliation. If your employer punished you for engaging in one of these activities, you may have a claim. Common examples include:
- Reporting discrimination or harassment based on race, sex, age, disability, or religion
- Filing a complaint with the EEOC or Michigan Department of Civil Rights
- Reporting safety violations to OSHA or a similar agency
- Participating in a workplace investigation as a witness
- Requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious practice
- Reporting illegal activity by your employer (whistleblowing)
- Taking legally protected leave, such as FMLA leave
The law protects your right to speak up without fear of losing your job or facing punishment for it. If you engaged in one of these activities and experienced negative treatment afterward, it's worth having an attorney look at the timeline and circumstances.
