Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The liability for retaliatory discharge is called retaliation claims and it refers to the claims an employee is entitled to when he/she can provide evidence of discrimination as a result of making a request or airing a grievance against an harassment or a discrimination withing the organisation.

To raise an issue of liability for retaliatory discharge, the following must be proven;

The first is that the employee must have filed a discrimination or a misconduct claim (such as the request for a grievance hearing against salary discrepancy)

The second is that the employee suffered a negative or adverse effect from the claim or request filed which in this case is the discharge or dismissal

The third is that there must be a proven causal relationship between the negative effect suffered and the request filed. Meaning, there should be a proven relationship between the discharge or dismissal of the employee and the request for grievance hearing.
