Can My Employer Retaliate Against Me for Filing a Wage and Hour Claim?
No. It is prohibited by law for employers to retaliate against employees who pursue wage and hour suits against them.
Many types of retaliation are prohibited following a wage and hour lawsuit. Some of the most typical examples include:
- Decreasing job duties
- Providing unfairly negative performance reviews
- Ensuring employees work unwanted shifts
- Cutting work hours
- Demotions
- Firing or termination of the employee’s position
If you have experienced retaliation after seeking the wages that you rightfully earned, act immediately. You may have the option to file an additional lawsuit against the retaliating employer.
What Types of Compensation Are Available Through a Wage and Hour Lawsuit?
Obviously, employees who have been underpaid can pursue the wages that they are owed through a legal claim. But in some cases, claimants may be able to recover additional financial recovery. Some of the other possible types of compensation include:
- Attorneys’ fees
- Court costs
- Liquidated damages
- Interest
The judges in these lawsuits have the option to require businesses to pay additional penalties, depending on the circumstances of the underpayment. Speak with the accomplished wage and hour lawyers at Morgan & Morgan to discuss the facts of your case.
How Long Do I Have to File a Kentucky Overtime Lawsuit?
Different states place different time limits on certain types of civil claims. This legally-mandated time limit is called the “statute of limitations.”
In the state of Kentucky, victims of wage and hour violations must file a lawsuit within five years of the incident. Failing to pursue a legal claim before this statute of limitations expires will likely result in the dismissal of your case.
Do not let this happen to you. Schedule a consultation with the Owensboro wage and hour attorneys at Morgan & Morgan today!
