Whistleblower Discrimination Complaint
By statute, before a discrimination complaint can be accepted for investigation, a signed complaint must be received in our office (or postmarked) no later than thirty (30) days after the date of the last alleged retaliatory act, so please include the date of that retaliation.
Please be as thorough as possible when filling out the complaint form. When possible, include relevant dates; and the names, telephone numbers and addresses of any potential witnesses. This complaint will be investigated only if you can provide some proof that the retaliation against you was directly due to your complaints to management about health or safety issues. Specific details describing your interactions with management regarding your safety concerns will be important in a possible investigation.
Please be informed that the assigned investigator is not an attorney and cannot give any legal advice. Filing a case with the Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (NM OSHA) does not preclude you from seeking any other forms of relief available to you. All parties in this action have the right to retain legal counsel and a Designation of Representation form will be provided here if you choose to retain counsel. Your timely cooperation is required in order to pursue this matter.
