retaliation.org/ identifies where its rules came from, when they were checked, what changed, and how a material error was corrected.
Retaliation law changes through statutes, regulations, judicial decisions, agency procedures, and the way different forums interpret the same language. A page can remain online while the rule beneath it changes.
Source Priority
retaliation.org/ generally gives priority to:
- statutes and regulations;
- full judicial opinions and official dockets;
- official agency decisions, manuals, forms, and instructions;
- official enforcement and performance materials;
- reliable secondary sources used to locate or explain primary authority; and
- clearly labeled analysis and inference.
A press release, search snippet, headnote, summary, or AI response may point toward a source. It is not treated as the final legal proposition when the underlying authority is available.
Current-Through and Review Dates
A “Current through,” “Last legally reviewed,” or “Last source checked” date refers to an actual review record. It does not mean every possible authority was found or that the page predicts an individual result. When verification is incomplete, say so rather than display an estimated date.
Retaliation Watch Archive
The archive preserves material official developments involving protected participation, employer knowledge, later events, witness treatment, position statements, agency procedure, closure, and retaliation-specific deadlines.
Each alert identifies the official source, relevant dates, current status, affected workers or processes, what changed, what did not change, practical consequences, uncertainty, affected pages, and the next review date.
An alert is archived when it no longer changes what a reader should understand or do. Superseded alerts remain available when historical context is useful, with a link to the current analysis.
Corrections
A substantive correction identifies:
- the affected page;
- the prior problem;
- the corrected proposition;
- the controlling or official source;
- the correction date; and
- any related page or tool affected by the change.
Quiet typographical fixes do not require a public correction entry. A material legal error does.
Reporting a Public-Page Error
retaliation.org/ does not use an unrestricted contact form and does not accept case facts, documents, confidential narratives, or requests for representation.
The trust standard is straightforward: do not claim more currentness, certainty, staffing, review, or authority than the record supports.
