Any employee who is discharged, threatened with discharge, demoted, suspended, or in any manner discriminated and/or retaliated against in the terms and conditions of his or her employment for engaging in a “protected activity” may file a complaint for employee retaliation.
Examples of some protected activities include filing or threatening to file a wage claim with the Labor Commissioner’s office, taking time off to serve on a jury, complaining about a safety or health hazard, and/or refusing to perform work that may be hazardous.
