Unlawful reasons for adverse employment actions include, but are not limited to: discrimination based on age, race, color, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, marital status, an expunged juvenile record; retaliation for opposing an unlawful employment practice, making a good faith report of a violation of the law, brought a civil proceeding against the employer, testified in good faith at a civil or criminal proceeding, inquired about or took medical leave, requested a disability accommodation.
