Absolutely. While not every situation allows you to sue your employer, you may be able to pursue legal action if your employer violated your rights in the workplace.

Unless you’re exempt under a particular labor law, your employer must comply with the law. It’s illegal to be demoted or fired for asserting a right guaranteed to you under federal or state employment law.

If an employer has violated your employment rights, or if you think you’ve been wrongfully terminated, you should contact an experienced Michigan employment law attorney so you understand your legal options.
