Discharge, threats, or discrimination against employee for reporting violations of law
“An employer shall not discharge, threaten, or otherwise discriminate against an employee regarding the employee's compensation, terms, conditions, location, or privileges of employment because the employee, or a person acting on behalf of the employee, reports or is about to report, verbally or in writing, a violation or a suspected violation of a law or regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to law of this state, a political subdivision of this state, or the United States to a public body, unless the employee knows that the report is false, or because an employee is requested by a public body to participate in an investigation, hearing, or inquiry held by that public body, or a court action.” MCL 15.362.
The law holds that a persons motivation is not relevant when engaging in protected activity; “Rather, the plain language of MCL 15.362 controls, and we clarify that a plaintiff's motivation is not relevant to the issue whether a plaintiff has engaged in protected activity and that proof of primary motivation is not a prerequisite to bringing a claim.” Whitman v. City of Burton, 493 Mich. 303, 306, 831 N.W.2d 223, 226 (2013).
“The WPA, as a remedial statute, is to be liberally construed to favor the persons the Legislature intended to benefit.” Chandler v. Dowell Schlumberger Inc., 456 Mich. 395, 406, 572 N.W.2d 210, 215 (1998), emphasis added.
Retaliation for blowing the whistle and other forms of discrimination such as sex, age and religion, are against Federal law, and the law in the State of Michigan.
