Retaliation can arise in several different workplace situations. The legal protections that apply may depend on what you reported, opposed, participated in, or exercised.
An employee may have legal protection after reporting discrimination or harassment based on a protected characteristic.
New Jersey’s Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) protects employees in certain circumstances when they disclose, object to, or refuse to participate in conduct they reasonably believe violates a law, rule, regulation, or other protected standard.
Employees may have protections against adverse treatment connected to exercising workers’ compensation rights.
Employees may have protections when adverse action is connected to protected union or collective-activity rights.
