The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently released more information for employers about preventing COVID-19-related workplace retaliation while also providing a healthy and safe work environment.
The updated guidelines clarify the rights of employees and job applicants who believe they were retaliated against for engaging in protected activities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other equal employment opportunity (EEO) laws.
