Workplace retaliation refers to any adverse action taken against an employee in response to their protected activity. This can include:
Retaliation can take various forms, including termination, demotion, harassment, or any other adverse action that negatively impacts an employee’s job or work conditions. It is illegal under both federal and Pennsylvania state laws for employers to retaliate against employees for engaging in protected activities.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that prohibit retaliation in the workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) all protect employees from retaliation for engaging in protected activities related to workplace discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability or genetic information. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) also prohibits retaliation for employees who raise concerns about wage and hour violations. The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) also prohibits retaliation against employees who request or take leave under the act.
In addition to federal protections against retaliation, Pennsylvania also has its own laws that protect employees from retaliation by their employers. The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who engage in protected activities related to discrimination or harassment. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Occupational Disease Act and Workers’ Compensation Act protect employees from retaliation for filing workers’ compensation claims related to work-related injuries.
Proving retaliation in the workplace can be a complex and challenging process. The burden of proof lies with the employee, who must show that their employer took adverse actions against them because they engaged in protected activity. This may include providing evidence such as witness statements, documentation of the protected activity, and proof of any adverse actions taken by the employer.
