Here are some of the most common laws protecting workers from retaliation:
Workplace harassment and discrimination – You may not be fired for making a complaint about harassment or discrimination in the workplace; for participating in an investigation of these issues; or for exercising your rights under these laws.
Wage and hour laws – Your employer may not fire you for complaining, whether internally or to the Department of Labor, that your employer has failed to pay the minimum wage, failed to pay overtime, denied legally required breaks, or illegally kept a portion of your tips.
