Employees have a right to notify their employer of discrimination in the workplace. According to civil rights legislation and other laws, employees are protected from any retaliation or retribution by their employer.
When individuals file a discrimination complain and are later filed, they may feel as if they have been treated unjustly. For instance, they may be fired or not receive a promotion because of the discrimination complaint. If this occurs, employees may want to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
