Why employers retaliate

Employers retaliate against employees for many different reasons. Common reasons why employers punish employees for their actions include:

  • Employee files complaint against supervisor
  • Employee files discrimination complaint
  • Union-related activities
  • Employee requests long-term medical leave

Although these actions are legally protected exercises of workers’ rights, some employees break the law and retaliate. Some of the ways employers retaliate against such actions include:

  • Firing employee
  • Demoting employee
  • Passing employee over for promotion
  • Changing employee’s schedule to a less desirable schedule (nights, weekends, etc.)
  • Giving unjustified negative performance evaluations
  • Filing a complaint against the employee, which could affect future advancement
