Certain forms of retaliation at work are illegal. Workplace conduct that is protected from retaliation by law includes complaints of discrimination and harassment and objections to (or refusals to engaged in) illegal activity at work, or complaints for failure to pay wages. When retaliation takes the form of a lay off or firing, it can be challenged in court as a wrongful termination.
If you witness wrongdoing on your job, you must choose whether to remain silent or bear witness and speak out. Oftentimes, whistleblowers are fired for their disclosures and can sue for wrongful termination in violation of public policy. Please visit our “public policy” page for further information on this subject. |
