Section 408.1119 - Retaliatory acts; complaint; rebuttable presumption

An employee who believes they have been discharged, disciplined, or otherwise experienced a detrimental change in their employment status due to filing a complaint, participating in an investigation, or having raised concerns with their payment of wages and fringe benefits covered by this act with their employer, may file a complaint with the commissioner not later than 90 days after the believed retaliatory act. There is a rebuttable presumption of retaliation if an employee was removed from the project or not provided similar overtime, work hours, or other opportunities available prior to the retaliatory action. If the commissioner determines that retaliation has occurred, the commissioner may order rehiring, reinstatement, or other equitable remedy, including full back pay or lost earnings as a result of the retaliatory act.
