The Need for Advocacy When Your Employer Retaliates
The sudden loss of a job is unsettling. Even more unsettling is the realization that your firing was actually a retaliatory discharge. You witnessed and reported an illegal activity. You took a family leave because of the pending birth of your child. You filed for workers compensation over a job-related injury.
Losing your job over retaliation is illegal and your employer must be held accountable. That is where we come in. At the Employee Rights Law Firm—Law Offices of Mark A. Jess, L.L.C. in Kansas City, we have the experience, legal knowledge, and resources to help you.

Knowing When You Have Been Victimized by a Retaliatory Discharge
Making claims of a “mean boss” is not legally protected activity such that you can assert a claim for retaliation. However, in many instances, employers do take severe retaliatory actions for the following:
- Reporting a supervisor committing a crime
- Taking a FMLA leave because of a pregnancy
- Reporting an instance of age or race discrimination
- Filing for workers compensation
- Reporting sexual harassment
