About Retaliation Claims

Retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for engaging in legally protected activity, such as filing a discrimination complaint, reporting safety violations, or participating in an investigation. Retaliation is the most commonly filed charge with the EEOC. These cases examine whether a causal connection exists between the protected activity and the adverse employment action.
