Wrongful Termination / Employer Reprisal
Workers cannot legally be punished for reporting wrongdoing in the workplace...
When labor law codes are violated, employees have the right to report the violations to the proper authority. The employee or employees who report the problems can do so knowing that, legally, they are protected from retaliation by their coworkers, managers, or business owners when information is provided to a government or law enforcement agency.
Unfortunately, employer retaliation commonly affects many workers who report discrimination, wage and hour, or safety problems in the workplace. Wrongful termination is the most severe type of employer retaliation. Losing a job for simply reporting unfair treatment at work is a slap in the face. Fortunately, these workers are entitled to legally pursue charges of retribution from offending parties using the legal safeguards in place to prevent these kinds of retaliatory actions.
Wrongful termination is not the only type of reprisal that can be taken against a whistle blower. All forms of retaliation and discrimination in the workplace are illegal. Employment laws protect against...
- Decreased pay
- Increased workload
- Unfair work schedule
- Demotion
- Removal of benefits
- Hostile environments
- Threats of reprisal
- Any form of discrimination
