How Do I Prove Retaliation?

If you have recently reported your employer for illegal actions or unfair treatment of employees, then you may face retaliation for your whistleblowing. Retaliation is a term used to describe actions taken by an employer in an attempt to seek revenge against a whistleblower (or employee who is otherwise protected by law). Retaliatory actions typically include the following:

• Job termination
• Job or shift demotion
• Harassment
• Denial of benefits

To prove that you have been a victim of retaliation, you need to be able to show that you were involved in some sort of protected act and, within a certain timeframe after your action, the employer took some sort of retaliatory action against you.
