Protected Workplace Activities
In New York and New Jersey, certain activities and reporting are protected under employment laws. Employees have the right to report discrimination, sexual harassment, unsafe working conditions, violations of wage-and-hour laws, and other legal and ethical violations without fear of retaliation. These protections promote whistleblowing and help maintain fair and just workplace environments.
Understanding Retaliation
Retaliation in the workplace happens when an employer punishes an employee for participating in activities that are legally protected. Retaliation can manifest in many forms, including:
- Demotions
- Unfavorable work assignments
- Blocked advancement opportunities
- Harassment
- Wrongful termination
Workplace retaliation often leaves employees feeling powerless and unsure of their rights. It undermines employee rights and can create a hostile work environment, affecting both your job performance and well-being.
