Almost all employment laws have built-in provisions that make it unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee. This includes an employee who complains about conduct prohibited by the law, or who take legal action against the employer under the law. Many states have laws specifically extending protection to employee whistleblowers.
Unfortunately, many employees abuse legal protections by making baseless complaints about alleged and unlawful employer conduct, in attempts to provide themselves with job security in difficult economic times, or when they are not meeting performance expectations.
Kaufman Dolowich lawyers vigilantly protects employers’ rights against whistleblower and retaliation complaints. We also offer proactive legal guidance in assisting businesses to avoid and handle complaints before they escalate to litigation.
