Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ahmed can prove a case of retaliation against Innov8 Systems Inc. In order to prove a retaliatory discharge claim, an employee must show that there was an adverse employment action toward the employee by the employer. For instance, if an employee is given a right to serve jury duty but is terminated by the employer for doing so, with no other apparent reason for the termination, that employee has a basis for a retaliation claim.
