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.
