Retaliatory Employer Actions & Compensation in Oklahoma

If you voice a complaint to your employer about discrimination, harassment or other violations of your rights in the workplace, your employer may not take any action against you that you might view as punishment or retaliation for the complaint. The law also protects an employee who participates in an investigation or files a lawsuit against an employer for discrimination, harassment, or other workplace violations.

If you have a genuine and reasonable basis to believe that your complaints are fair and meritorious, even if they turn out to be unfounded, your employer violates the law if, as a result of your complaint, he or she takes retaliatory actions against you that adversely affect your employment in any way.

Adverse actions or sanctions include matters such as discipline, negative evaluations, issuance of warnings, salary reduction, demotion, discipline, firing, change in job assignment or change in shift assignment. Retaliation can also include hostile behavior or attitudes by employers, including managers, supervisors, human resources representatives, or coworkers, toward an employee who complained.
