Are employees protected from retaliation in Virginia?
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Virginia Human Rights Act, employers are protected from discrimination and retaliation for reporting discrimination. It is important to recognize that Virginia also has a law in place that covers employees from retaliation for reporting illegal activity in the workplace under its whistleblower law.
In the event that you have witnessed a form of discrimination or other illegal activity, you refuse to take part in illegal activity, or you report an illegal activity that was committed against you, you may be protected as an employee from retaliation.
