Workplace Retaliation Legal Guidance

Summary

Retaliation and hostile work environments are illegal in both New York and New Jersey. Employers cannot retaliate against employees for complaints about discrimination or harassment. They must provide reasonable accommodations, and constantly changing job tasks may constitute a hostile work environment. For HR meetings, clearly explain your concerns, provide specific examples, and request necessary accommodations. If no updates are received after submitting documentation, consider escalating the matter or seeking assistance from a labor law attorney. Key questions to ask HR include the process for handling complaints, next steps, job security, measures to prevent retaliation, and expected timelines for resolution.
