 It
is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee in any way
regarding complaints made to proper labor organization agencies, or any legal
claims which are filed by the employee as a result of workplace actions or
conditions.
The
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
contains anti-retaliation provisions that stipulate it
unlawful to discriminate against an individual
because he or she has opposed any practice made
unlawful under the employment discrimination
statutes. This protection applies if an individual
explicitly or implicitly communicates to his or her
employer or other covered entity a belief that its
activity constitutes a form of employment
discrimination that is covered by any of the
statutes enforced by the EEOC.
Even so, some employers
often believe they are smarter than the law. They may
try to make the workplace a difficult place to be in
order to get your to quit. These sometimes suttle
changes in the way a company treats you are still a
violation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) anti-retaliation provisions.

There are essentially three elements of a workplace
retaliation claim:
Workplace retaliation often takes the form of:
-
Sudden or a progression of reducing the scheduled
hours that the employee is to work;
-
Untimely demotion of the employee;
-
Termination or Discharge of the Employee;
-
Reduction in pay;
-
An employee being re-assigned to a department which
the employee is unfamiliar, essentially setting them
up to fail, making their termination viable;
-
Sudden poor performance reviews, following a history
of positive and productive performance reviews;
-
Denying an employee the proper resources, which were
previously available, to properly perform their job
duties at a level of expectation or time
constraints;
-
Exclusion from advancement or pay increases as
others less qualified, experienced, or in seniority
are advanced or given pay increases instead.

Essentially, if you notice any changes in the working
conditions, your hours worked, reduced responsibilities,
reassignments, reduced support and resources that diminish
your ability to perform at an optimal level... these may all
be signs of retaliation in the workplace. It is also not
uncommon for an employer to promote the employee to a
position the employer knows the employee is not ready to
handle for the sole purpose of justifying the employee's
termination.
We
urge any employee to keep an employee file for his or
herself to document their work history, performance reviews,
any changes that affect your ability to perform your duties,
verbal conversations that affect you, you job, and position
within the company (good or bad). You should even document
rumors that are spread that get back to you, as it is not
beneath some employers to start rumors and let other
employers do the dirty work for them.
As an
employee, you should protect your rights and ensure that if
anything affects you, you have documented as much as
possible. Documentation is often what turns the tables in
your favor in any employment dispute, including workplace
retaliation claims.
 If
you require professional legal services regarding
employment - workplace retaliation claims,

rights by seeking the legal advice of
