Employment law attorney, Roger Seat, can advise you on the many laws that prevent employers from retaliating against employees who exercise there legal rights as an employee.  If an employee is subjected to termination or an adverse employment action for any of the following reasons, then that person may have a claim for illegal retaliation:

• For whistle blowing on violations or crimes

• For refusing to commit illegal acts for your employer

• A termination that violates the terms of an employment contract

• For discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, national origin, gender, disability, or for taking maternity leave

• Termination for reporting sexual harassment or discrimination

• Requests for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) unpaid leave for the birth or adoption of a child; or to care for a child, spouse or parent

Please remember that retaliation claims are subject to rigid time limits and a person must normally file retaliation claims within either 180 days or 300 days of the alleged incident.  Therefore, it is important that you contact a knowledgeable employment law attorney as soon after the incident as possible.

If you believe you have experienced retaliation at work, you need to contact the Law Office of Roger Seat LLC to determine your rights.  To schedule a low cost initial appointment with attorney Roger Seat or to get more information call 970-663-9384 or complete the contact form on this website.
