Our employment law attorneys have 80 combined years of experience helping workers fight back against illegal retaliation. We can provide the legal counsel you need.

How Much Is Your Workplace Retaliation Claim Worth?

There are a number of factors that go into determining the worth of your retaliation claim, such as:

• Your salary/lost wages
• The amount of documentation or records you have that prove the retaliation
• How long the retaliation lasted
• Your emotional distress
• Whether you have been seeking employment after being fired

Every case is different, so there may be additional factors as well. The best way to estimate the potential value of your case is to work with an Idaho employee rights attorney. At Miller Hawkins, PLLC, we will use our experience in workplace retaliation claims to determine what you may expect from a settlement.

What Is The Process For Filing An Idaho Workplace Retaliation Claim?

Before taking any steps, you may wish to speak with an employment law attorney to learn whether you have a valid claim. An attorney can also help you through the process of filing a claim.

Next, you will need to file a claim with a government agency, depending on the type of issue your case involves. If it was in response to reporting a workplace safety violation, you can file the complaint with OSHA within 30 to 180 days. Otherwise, you need to file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission within 300 days or with the Idaho Human Rights Commission within a year.

Whichever agency you use, they will let your former employer know that you have filed a claim. Depending on the circumstances, the agency may seek a written response from the employer or request that you and your former employer go to mediation.
