What is Reprisal?

A reprisal is any adverse act taken against you because you made a disclosure of wrongdoing or participated in an investigation. Reprisals can come in many forms, and may not always be obvious. Examples may include:

(a) a disciplinary measure;

(b) the demotion of the public servant;

(c) the termination of employment of the public servant, including, in the case of a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a discharge or dismissal;

(d) any measure that adversely affects the employment or working conditions of the public servant; and

(e) a threat to take any of the measures referred to in any of paragraphs (a) to (d).

Again, to constitute reprisal, the adverse act taken against you must be as a result of you making a protected disclosure or participating in an investigation.
