18. Retaliation

If Harmed for Standing Up or Doing Right

Retaliation is comprised of three elements, (i) your engaging in a “protected” activity (such as filing a complaint, etc.), (ii) suffering a “negative employment event” (such as a demotion or firing), and (iii) where reason exists to believe that (i) led to (ii). We offer Model Memos to (a) help you prevent retaliation against you, (b) address retaliation against you if it happens.
