EEOC
Issues Guidance on Retaliation Claims
|
|
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) recently issued internal guidelines for investigating and analyzing
claims of retaliation under the statutes enforced by the agency. Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Equal Pay Act prohibit employers
from retaliating against individuals who engage in protected activity
under those laws, including filing charges and testifying, assisting, or
participating in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing.
The guidance clarifies that prospective,
current, and former employees are protected by the anti-retaliation
provisions. Examples of prohibited retaliation include threats,
reprimands, negative evaluations, and harassment, as well as demotions,
denials of promotion, and refusals to hire. Former employees also can
claim retaliation if their employer gives them unjustified negative
references, refuses to provide references, or informs prospective
employers about their involvement in discrimination claims. Activities
that are not covered by the retaliation provisions include copying
confidential documents, making an overwhelming number of complaints, or
committing illegal acts. |

Unprecedented changes
impacting HR
Today’s economic, political, and employment environment is
more unsettled for human resources professionals than any time
we’ve seen in our 37 years of advising employers. As a result,
you need much more than news and raw information – you need
clear advice and guidance on what to do … and when.
A complete support system
And, that’s where the Personnel Policy Manual System
fits in. It’s like having an extra HR expert and employment
law specialist on your staff – for less than the cost of a cup
of coffee per day. You get in one place the total policy and
compliance support you need and want.
Look at the new compliance
challenges you already have for 2009:
-- Changes to COBRA
-- The new Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
-- Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
-- New Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations
-- Labor Secretary promising to step up FLSA & FMLA
enforcement
And there’s even more that should be on your radar screen:
-- Regulations for the new ADA Amendments
-- The Employee Free Choice Act
-- The Paycheck Fairness Act
-- The Healthy Families Act
-- The Employment Non-Discrimination Act
-- FMLA Amendments expanding coverage to smaller employers
-- New minimum wage increases beyond what’s scheduled
You can still stay ahead
with a complete policy and compliance system:
Take a test drive of the Personnel Policy Manual
System and see for yourself why so many of our
subscribers refer to it as their “HR Policy Bible.” In one
turnkey package, you’ll find:
