An employer may not fire an employee for exercising, or trying to enforce, their employment rights.
For example, you may not be fired for filing a complaint of discrimination or harassment, requesting or taking family and medical leave, taking time off to serve on a jury, filing a workers’ compensation claim, or complaining about illegal wage and hour practices (such as unpaid overtime or illegal tip sharing arrangements).
