1. Supreme Court Parses Protections for Internal Company Probes
Employees participating in a company probe of discrimination may receive the same protections against retaliation as the person who filed the charge, if the Supreme Court rules in favor of a Tennessee woman.
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.

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."
