Employee discharge or discrimination
Short Summary
This section of the Arizona Revised Statutes governs employee discharge or discrimination. It prohibits any person from discharging or discriminating against an employee who has filed a complaint, instituted a proceeding, testified, or is about to testify under or related to this article, or has exercised any right afforded by this article. An employee who believes they have been discharged or discriminated against in violation of this section may file a complaint with the commission within thirty days of the violation. The commission will then conduct an investigation and, if a violation is found, bring an action in the superior court. The court may order appropriate relief, including rehiring or reinstatement of the employee to their former position with back pay. The commission is required to notify the complainant of its determination within ninety days of receiving the complaint.
