What are some examples of reprisal for having participated in EEO activity?
The most obvious types of retaliation are denial of a promotion, refusal to hire, denial of job benefits, demotion, suspension and discharge. Other types of adverse actions include threats, reprimands, negative evaluations, and harassment. After a female employee filed an EEO complaint of discrimination stating she was denied a promotion because of her gender, one week later the supervisor invited a few employees out to lunch. The employee believed she was excluded because of her EEO complaint. Is this reprisal? No. Even if the supervisor chose not to invite the employee because of her charge, this would not constitute unlawful retaliation because it is not reasonably likely to deter protected activity. Same example as above, except that the employee’s supervisor invites all employees to regular weekly lunches. The supervisor excluded the employee from these lunches after she filed the sex discrimination charge. If she was excluded because of her charge, this would constitute unlawful
