Updated EEOC Retaliation Guidance Suggests Scrutiny for Internal Investigation Practices

 
“The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission takes an expansive position on protection given to persons who make internal complaints about discrimination in bad faith in updated guidance on retaliation law.
Under a retaliation theory, individuals have legal redress if an employer takes a material adverse action against an individual for opposing discrimination or for filing a charge of discrimination with the EEOC, or helping other with such efforts. Many of the points made by the EEOC in its updated guidance are accepted widely by the courts. To the extent employers are concerned with complying with the EEOC’s guidance, they should reexamine their handbooks and keep the EEOC’s guidance in mind when presented with bad faith or untruthful internal allegations of discrimination.”
