The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Web site page on "Retaliation" details what by law is considered retaliation against an employee who files a charge of discrimination, participates in a proceeding investigating a claim of discrimination or otherwise opposes discrimination. "Retaliation occurs when an employer, employment agency or labor organization takes an adverse action against a covered individual because he or she engaged in a protected activity," the EEOC says. For HR managers and others in positions of responsibility, the site offers useful information as well as links to more, including "Information for Small Employers" and "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act."

What Can We Do When an Employee Has Exhausted the Leave-of-Absence Time Allowed by Our Workers' Comp Policy?

We have an employee who has been on workers' compensation for two years now—the claim is grandfathered under our old policy, but it's since changed. Now, when injured employees are on workers' compensation, they receive two-thirds of their pay and must use sick days and vacation to cover the remaining one-third. May we begin requiring the injured employee to use personal time?
