Current through Register Vol. 47, No.14, January 8, 2025

Rule 875-36.3 - [Effective 1/29/2025] Unprotected activities distinguished

(1) Wage discrimination occurs when an employer engages in adverse action because the employee engaged in a protected activity. An employee's engagement in activities protected by the Act does not automatically render the employee immune from adverse action dictated by nonprohibited considerations.

(2) A violation exists if the protected activity was a substantial reason for the action, or if the discharge or other adverse action would not have taken place "but for" engagement in the protected activity.
