“Two or more persons shall not conspire to, or a person shall not:
(a) Retaliate or discriminate against a person because the person has opposed a violation of this act, or because the person has made a charge, filed a complaint, testified, assisted, or participated in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this act.” MCL 37.2701.
Retaliation for making a complaint is a violation of the law. If your employer takes an adverse employment action against you, such as a demotion or termination, you may have a retaliation cause of action and a viable reason to file a lawsuit to be compensated for the damages incurred, including but not limited to wage loss, loss of benefits, emotional damages and punitive damages.
Pursuant to Federal law, there exists an anti-retaliation provision under Title VII which has been broadly construed to cover a broad range of employer misconduct. The law prohibits employers from engaging in employment actions which may be considered to have dissuaded an employee from making or supporting a charge or a claim of discrimination.
If you have filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), or if you are contemplating filing a complaint with the EEOC, we can help. Filing a complaint with the EEOC is considered a protected activity, by law. If you have been retaliated against or discriminated against because you complained of improper or illegal conduct on the part of your employer, call attorney Raymond Guzall III today at 248-702-6122 for a free consultation.
