You can use the "reply to thread" feature to add details. Following are definitions.
HIPAA (not HIPPA) stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This Act is a privacy act designed to protect patients' records and health information that is provided to hospitals, doctors, health plans and health care providers. It does not provide for a private cause of action.
ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act and it is a civil rights law. This Act prohibits in all areas of public life and in private places open to the public any discrimination against individuals with disabilities based solely on their disability.
Retaliation is when employers take action against employees who complain or file complaints against their employers over workplace discrimination or harassment. Retaliation is prohibited under federal law.
Harassment in the workplace is continued threatening or ridiculing behavior directed at a worker or workers by either an employer or another worker. Harassment needs to be reported to the employer or the employer's supervisor so action can be taken to correct/eliminate the behavior.
Wrongful termination is an employer's termination of an employee's employment in breach of an employee's contract terms or in violation of a federal or state statute.
