A protected class is a category the law has created to protect certain people. For example, whistle blowers would be a protected class, a person who has objected to or refused to participate in what is an unlawful practice of a business makes an objection or refuses to participate in something. The employer cannot then fire that person or reduce their compensation as a form of retaliation or reprisal against the employee for doing something the law has protected.
