89B.9 EMPLOYEE RIGHTS.
An employer shall not discharge or in any other manner
discriminate against an employee because the employee has filed a
complaint or brought an action under this section or has cooperated
in bringing an action against an employer. An employee may file a
complaint with the labor commissioner alleging discharge or
discrimination within thirty days after an alleged violation occurs.
Upon receipt of the complaint, the commissioner shall cause an
investigation to be made to the extent the commissioner deems
appropriate. If the commissioner determines from the investigation
that this section has been violated, the commissioner shall bring an
action in the appropriate district court against the person. The
district court has jurisdiction, for cause shown, to restrain
violations of this section and order appropriate relief including
rehiring or reinstatement of the employee to the former position with
back pay. This section applies to an employee of a person otherwise
exempt from this chapter. Section History: Recent Form
