Retaliation and Whistle-blower Protection
In Alabama, if you complain to your employer about the below topics and your employer retaliates against you for being a whistleblower, you may be protected by an anti-retaliation statute prohibiting wrongful termination:
- Complaints about Discrimination Based on your Race, Sex, Age, National Origin, Disability
- Complaints about Sexual Harassment or a Sexually Hostile Work Environment
- Complaints about Racial Harassment or a Racially Hostile Work Environment
- Complaints about Discrimination because of Pregnancy
- Complaints about Not Being Paid Overtime Wages
- Complaints about Being Forced to Work Off the Clock
If you simply engage in the following activities and your employer retaliates against you by terminating your employment, you may be protected by an anti-retaliation statute prohibiting wrongful termination:
- Using Family and Medical Leave
- Filing a Workers' Compensation Claim
- Reporting an On-The-Job Injury
- Missing work to serve on a Jury
This means that employees have the right to sue employers who have engaged in retaliation, and to seek monetary damages and attorney’s fees.
