Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as workplace retaliation?

Straight Answers.
From Trial Lawyers.

The Answer

Workplace retaliation occurs when an employer takes negative action against an employee because the employee engaged in a legally protected activity.

Examples may include:

  • Reporting discrimination or harassment
  • Filing a complaint with HR
  • Participating in a workplace investigation
  • Reporting safety violations
  • Whistleblowing illegal conduct
  • Requesting accommodations under applicable laws

Retaliation can take many forms, including termination, demotion, reduced hours, disciplinary action, denial of promotions, or creating a hostile work environment.

Michigan and federal laws may protect employees from retaliation in many circumstances. Every situation is different, and a lawyer can help evaluate whether your rights may have been violated.
