My employer has done something illegal under this law. What can I do?

If your employer does something that is not allowed under this law, you may be able to report that behavior to the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. The Department of Workforce Solutions can investigate your complaint. Both you and the Workforce Solutions Department can start a legal case to:

  • keep the employer from violating the law again;
  • get money damages for any harm you suffered; and
  • cover your costs in filing a legal case and reasonable attorney fees that you spent to hire an attorney.1
