Now Is A Good Time To Review EEOC's Definition Of Retaliation
Employers can terminate employees for nondiscriminatory reasons, but if terminating an employee is the direct result of that person filing a complaint, your organization could face trouble. The EEOC says companies cannot retaliate against employees for filing or being a witness in an EEO charge, complaint, investigation, or lawsuit; communicating with a supervisor about discrimination or harassment; answering questions during an investigation; refusing to follow orders that would constitute harassment; resisting sexual advances or intervening to protect; requesting accommodation for disability or religious reasons; asking managers or co-workers about salaries to discover potentially discriminatory wages; filing a complaint of discrimination; filing a charge of discrimination; participating in an investigation or lawsuit about discrimination; or opposing discrimination. The EEOC defines retaliation in several ways, but terminating an employee as a direct result of their filing a complaint would definitely qualify. More information is at www.eeoc.gov/retaliation.
