Question

question 2 of 2
an employer informs its employees that it will hold a substantial cash prize drawing for
each work group at the end of each month in which no employee in the work group sustains
a lost - time injury. tyra reports an injury that she sustained while operating a mechanical
power press. tyra did not violate any employer safety rules when she sustained her injury.
tyra’s injury requires her to miss work for two days. her employer cancels the cash prize
drawing for that month for tyra’s work group because of tyra’s lost - time injury.

did the employer misuse an incentive program to retaliate against tyra?
yes
no

Explanation:

Retaliation in workplace safety context: Employers can't use incentive programs (like cash prize for no lost - time injuries) to retaliate against employees who report injuries, especially when the employee followed safety rules. Tyra reported a non - rule - violating injury, and the employer canceled the prize because of her injury. This fits the definition of misusing the incentive program for retaliation.

Answer:

Yes
