Employment Law Practice Group<\/a>, regarding government agencies increased focus on whistleblowers and retaliation, and how employers can avoid whistleblower and retaliation complaints from their employees.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, there have been significant changes in both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (\u201cEEOC\u201d) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (\u201cOSHA\u201d) that make it easier for employees to demonstrate that an employer acted with retaliatory intent.\u00a0 Given this increased focus on retaliation, it is prudent for employers to take steps to avoid whistleblower and retaliation complaints from their employees, and ensure that they have adequate workplace policies and complaint systems to address retaliation complaints before an employee complaint lands\u00a0before the EEOC or OSHA.<\/p>\n<p>Part 1 of the article, titled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hrdailyadvisor.blr.com\/2016\/11\/22\/preventing-whistleblowers-workplace-eeoc-expands-rights-whistleblowers\/\">Preventing Whistleblowers in the Workplace: EEOC Expands the Rights of Whistleblowers<\/a>,\u201d focuses on how the EEOC has modified the standard it uses to evaluate retaliation claims, and has become more aggressive in its whistleblower enforcement efforts.<!--more--> \u00a0Specifically, the EEOC revised its Enforcement Guidance on Retaliation and Related Issues in August 2016, significantly decreasing an employee\u2019s burden of proof to demonstrate that an employer acted with retaliatory intent.\u00a0 The EEOC\u2019s revisions significantly broaden the definitions of protected activity, adverse employment action, and causal connection \u2013 the three elements that a plaintiff must prove to make a claim for retaliation.\u00a0 Due to the EEOC\u2019s broadening of the retaliation standard, an employer facing a retaliation claim before the EEOC will now be scrutinized much closer than before, and EEOC inquiries into an employer\u2019s actions and employment policies will likely increase.<\/p>\n<p>Part 2 of the article, titled \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hrdailyadvisor.blr.com\/2016\/11\/23\/preventing-whistleblowers-workplace-osha-expands-rights-whistleblowers\/#more-34464\">Preventing Whistleblower in the Workplace: OSHA Expands the Rights of Whistleblowers<\/a>,\u201d discusses OSHA\u2019s increased efforts to bolster its whistleblower protection program and retaliation enforcement efforts.\u00a0 Within the past year, OSHA has revamped its rules that protect whistleblowers through updated guidelines in its field enforcement manual, additional guidance documents and interpretation letters, and the anti-retaliation provisions embedded in the new electronic recordkeeping rule. \u00a0Similar to the EEOC, OSHA made it much easier for claimants to make out a claim for retaliation before the agency. \u00a0The new enforcement manual eliminates the <em>prima facie <\/em>standard for determining whether a merit finding should be made, and therefore reduces the possibility that a complaint will be dismissed prior to a hearing before an administrative law judge. \u00a0The new standard that investigators apply is whether \u201cOSHA has reasonable cause to believe a violation occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Preamble of the OSHA electronic recordkeeping rule included new obligations requiring employers to implement \u201creasonable reporting\u201d procedures for employees to report to their employers work-related injuries, and a broad and vague new set of provisions that expand OSHA\u2019s enforcement authority to prevent employer retaliation against employees who report injuries and illnesses. \u00a0Specifically, OSHA discussed reporting procedures and policies that may violate the new anti-retaliation provisions, and retaliatory issues related to safety incentive programs, post-injury drug testing, and management compensation or bonuses tied to injury rates. It also provides OSHA a new enforcement mechanism that allows them to issue regulatory citations for retaliatory conduct. \u00a0While it is not certain that the anti-retaliation provision will go into effect in light of an industry challenge and the change in the Administration, these provisions will have a significant impact on workplace policies and practices.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, OSHA also published a Final Rule prohibiting retaliation against employees that exercise rights under the Affordable Care Act (\u201cACA\u201d), and established procedures for the filing, evaluation, and litigation of whistleblower complaints under the ACA.\u00a0 Given this flurry of activity by OSHA over the past year to increase whistleblower protections, employers will likely see more retaliation claims brought against them and make it to the hearing stage before an Administrative Law Judge.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on these important topics and how they will affect your workplace, please join Kara Maciel on November 30th at 1:30pm EST for an in-depth <a href=\"http:\/\/store.blr.com\/oshas-new-whistleblowing-requirements-113016\">webinar<\/a> on \u201cOSHA\u2019s New Whistleblowing Requirements: How to Steer Clear of Legal Missteps Amid Increased Employee Protection.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLR recently published a two piece article in the HR Daily Advisor by\u00a0Kara Maciel\u00a0and\u00a0Daniel Deacon, of Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s national\u00a0Labor &amp; Employment Law Practice Group, regarding government agencies increased focus on whistleblowers and retaliation, and how employers&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[820],"class_list":["post-1654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-workplace-safety-health","tag-whistleblower-retaliation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Whistleblower Retaliation Article Published in BLR\u2019s HR Daily Advisor and Upcoming Webinar - Employer Defense Report<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/1654\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Whistleblower Retaliation Article Published in BLR\u2019s HR Daily Advisor and Upcoming Webinar - Employer Defense Report\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BLR recently published a two piece article in the HR Daily Advisor by\u00a0Kara Maciel\u00a0and\u00a0Daniel Deacon, of Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s national\u00a0Labor &amp; Employment Law Practice Group, regarding government agencies increased focus on whistleblowers and retaliation, and how employers&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/1654\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Employer Defense Report\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-11-28T18:30:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-20T15:42:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.connmaciel.com\/employer-defense-report\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/11\/whistleblower-article.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"824\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"608\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Daniel C.
