WORKPLACE RETALIATION IS PROHIBITED

Employees who have filed complaints and/or have asserted their rights protected by the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) cannot be discriminated against, harassed, or discharged on account of such activity. If adverse action is taken against an employee for engaging in protected activity, the affected employee may file suit for relief, including reinstatement to his/her job, payment of lost wages, and damages.
