How Big Businesses Handle an Employee who has filed Complaints (490 hits)

 

Although employers are allowed to discipline their employees, regardless of whether they've filed a complaint or not, it pays to be especially careful in how you discipline an employee who has filed a complaint.  Retaliation is any adverse action that a company takes against an employee because he or she filed a complaint about harassment or discrimination. Adverse action can include actions such as firing the employee, giving them negative evaluations, disciplining or demoting them, reassigning them or reducing their pay. A person could have a valid cause of action but doesn’t pursue it with reasonable diligence because they have disposed of or lost evidence, yet there is no set time limit on how long a person can suffer exclusions, along with mental and spiritual persecution. - See more at: http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/employment-law-and-human-resources/workplace-retaliation.html#sthash.HzhUVMVD.dpuf
