Whistleblowers
It takes courage to report your employer to outside agencies.
If you have noticed anything illegal at work and you blow the whistle, the law states that you cannot be retaliated against. Despite this law, your employer may retaliate against an employee for taking action.
Michigan has laws in place protecting those who report or threaten to report any illegal act committed by their employer.
This law is meant to encourage you to stand up for what is right. If you are retaliated against, you need a lawyer. If we determine that we could win your case and your Whistleblower Protection Act claim is successful, you could be entitled to recover the damages you suffered during your period of unemployment and into the future. There is a time limit- you have only 90 days from the day you were retaliated against to file the lawsuit. Contact us as soon as possible.
