Many federal and state employment laws prohibit employers from retaliating against employees who have engaged in legally protected workplace activities. For example, it is unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an individual because the individual has complained of discrimination based upon protected characteristics or status such as race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, disability, or military service. Federal and state law also prohibits retaliation against whistleblowers, who in good faith either complain about, or refuse to participate in, illegal activities. Many federal laws and regulations contain ant-retaliation provisions, which provide various forms of remedies

Unlawful workplace retaliation takes many forms, including termination, failure to hire, failure to promote, demotion, decrease in pay, unfavorable job transfer, material change in responsibilities or duties, and harassment.
