If your claim is successful, your employer will be required under the Wage Theft Act to compensate you for lost wages and other damages resulting from you’re being fired. If you were fired in retaliation, your employer will be required to pay twice the amount in lost wages that you suffered. They will also be required to pay for the costs you incurred in filing a lawsuit. This includes the attorney’s fee. Your employer may also be required to offer you a reinstatement if you were fired in retaliation. This is applicable only if the reinstatement is not prohibited by law.
