of serious situations, including those in which an employee claims that
the company took action against them in retaliation for

is the potential of a serious financial loss if the case is not defended

It is understood that employees have rights, and should not be treated
unfairly. This does not mean that they have the right to file false or
exaggerated claims against a business owner. Unfortunately, there are
many cases that business owners must face that demand a skilled defense
to seek to avoid serious financial damage. There are specific procedures
and policies that should be in place in any commercial enterprise to assist
in avoiding these lawsuits in the future. Employee contracts and training
are part of any business activity that hopes to avoid the almost certain
claims that employees could file against them.
The state Whistleblower's Act protects employees from retaliation should
they report a company for illegal actions. This includes those who work
for private businesses, municipalities and any state agency. There are
restrictions under which such claims can be filed, and the employee has
only one year from the time of alleged discrimination or retaliation in
which to file. Once they have filed the claim, the business owners are
notified and the legal process is in motion. Early involvement in defending
the claim can have a significant benefit for any business or municipality
facing such claims. The legal team at the firm has successfully defended
many such cases and has a depth of understanding and legal knowledge that
serves the client in seeking to avoid the financial damages they will
face if the claim is successful.
