Retaliation
In everyday life, retaliation can mean a lot of different things. In employment law, the definition of “retaliation,” as a legal claim, has a much more narrow definition. In simplified terms, to sustain a claim for retaliation, an employee, former employee or applicant for employment must either complain about discrimination based on a protected trait (for example: age, race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, disability, religion, or sexual orientation) or participate in an investigation into another employee’s complaint and then suffer a harm as a result of that complaint (for example: termination, demotion, or other adverse treatment) or participation. A claim for retaliation can also be made in whistleblower cases.
