Our Baton Rouge Civil Service Employment Attorneys Help Clients Get Their Jobs Back And Keep Them
Louisiana has a clear whistleblower statute that protects employees against retaliation or termination for reporting violations of regulations or other laws. The law is designed to discourage employers from punishing employees for doing the right thing. This is important for our clients facing retaliation by their employers to remember: The law protects employees who do the right thing.
If you have reported your employer for a violation and think you are being punished for it, we encourage you to contact us to speak with one of our experienced attorneys. We will evaluate your options for stopping unlawful intimidation.Assessing Your Options For Moving ForwardWhen you contact the Smith Law Firm, we will help you make sense of your legal options and move forward to a more positive employment situation.
If you have been fired for blowing the whistle, we can help you get reinstated in your position. If you have been a victim of workplace discrimination, however, you may rightly wish to move on. In this case, we can help you pursue compensation and back pay for your discrimination claim.
Louisiana workers should be aware that under state law, employers are required to give employees who are terminated or laid off their final paycheck within 15 days or on the date of the next normal payday, whichever occurs first. Employers face penalties for failing to do this. If you have recently been laid off or terminated and think you are being denied your final paycheck, we urge you to speak with an experienced lawyer.
