Adverse actions include ultimate employment actions such as termination, demotion, or failure to hire. However, adverse actions are not limited to ultimate employment actions, and do include conduct which materially and adversely affects the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, and may include individual actions or a pattern of actions and conduct. For example, transferring an employee to a less desirable location or shift, poor performance reviews or write-ups and reprimands, or other actions that would impact an employee’s opportunity for promotion or advancement may be adverse actions.
