How Does Nevada Define Retaliation?
Retaliation isn’t always obvious. It’s more than just being fired. Nevada law protects employees from any negative action taken by an employer because the employee exercised their rights. This could be a demotion, pay cut, change in schedule, or even a sudden increase in criticism.
Here’s what Nevada law considers protected actions:
- Reporting discrimination or harassment
- Filing a workers’ compensation claim
- Taking medical leave
- Participating in a workplace investigation
- Refusing to do something illegal
If your employer has changed their behavior towards you after you’ve done any of these things, you may have a case. Contact us to discuss your situation. We can help you understand your rights and determine the best course of action moving forward.

"Michael is a true gem!"In the very first five minutes of our conversation about my case, it was evident that Michael is different. We hadn't even started, and Michael was on the case, so well prepared, and so familiar with every aspect of the situation. Michael's informed perspective and knowledge of the industry is clear in every assessment he makes, and his wealth of experience saved me from many potential disasters. I am truly grateful to Michael for his generosity, and for him patiently and clearly explaining the important strategic details that ensured the success of my case.Former Client
