The 13.00 Employment First Amendment Retaliation Overview is a set of guidelines that cover how employers should treat employees who have exercised their First Amendment rights. This includes any actions taken by an employer that would be considered retaliatory in nature, such as demotion, suspension, or termination, or any other form of adverse action. The overview outlines the various types of First Amendment activities that are protected from retaliation, as well as the steps employers must take to ensure compliance. There are three types of First Amendment Retaliation Overview: the Standard, the Enhanced, and the Comprehensive. The Standard is the minimum level of protection and covers only the most basic activities. The Enhanced provides additional protection and covers a wider range of activities. The Comprehensive provides the most comprehensive protection and covers the full range of activities.
