In many situations, doing the right thing or requesting considerations that are federally guaranteed can lead to your supervisor or company retaliating against you. Some of these protected situations can include:
-
Requesting accommodations specified in the Americans with Disabilities Act.
-
Requesting a leave of absence protected by the Family & Medical Leave Act.
-
Refusing to perform a task deemed to be illegal or unethical
- Opposing or complaining about sexual harassment or discrimination
Retaliation can come in many forms, including:
-
Wrongful termination
-
Demotion
-
Denial of a promotion or other career advancement opportunities
-
Write-ups or performance improvement plans without proper justification
- Use of schedule as a punishment tool
