Workplace Retaliation Lawyers in Hattiesburg

What Is Workplace Retaliation?

Workplace retaliation is a form of workplace discrimination that occurs when an employer punishes an employee for reporting illegal employer behavior or participating in a workplace investigation. Workplace retaliation can take many forms, such as demotion, pay cuts, termination, or harassment.

At Johnson, Ratliff & Waide, PLLC, we believe that employers should not be allowed to retaliate against employees. If you have been retaliated against for reporting illegal behavior or participating in a workplace investigation, you do not have to put up with it. You have a right to report workplace misconduct without fear of retaliation from your employer.

Examples of workplace retaliation include:

• Demotion
• Pay cuts
• Termination
• Harassment
• Intimidation
• Threats
• Reduced work hours
• Reduced benefits
• And more

It can be difficult to prove retaliation, but it is important to do so. If you can prove that your employer retaliated against you, you have a right to legal action.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Retaliation?

The statute of limitations is a time limit for filing a lawsuit. In Mississippi, the statute of limitations for most lawsuits is three years. Because workplace retaliation is a type of workplace discrimination, the statute of limitations for workplace retaliation is also three years.
