Termination without notice after Harassment complaint

Hello
In Mexico, labor laws strictly regulate termination of employment. Employers can only dismiss employees for “just cause,” which includes serious misconduct such as harassment, threats, or dishonorable acts committed by either party. If an employee files a complaint about workplace bullying or harassment and is subsequently terminated without a lawful justification, that termination may be deemed wrongful.​

Employers have a legal obligation to investigate complaints thoroughly and cannot lawfully retaliate against employees who raise concerns about workplace harassment. Threatening to cut hours or terminate employees as a form of retaliation is unlawful. Employees who are wrongfully terminated can pursue legal claims for reinstatement, severance pay, or other statutory benefits, usually within a limited timeframe after termination.

The employer must provide written notice of termination stating valid reasons and evidence. Failure to follow due process can make the dismissal invalid. If you have evidence and corroborating witness statements supporting your complaint, this strengthens your case against unfair dismissal and workplace harassment.​

In summary, your employer’s refusal to investigate allegations of harassment and retaliatory termination may violate labor laws in Mexico. You have the right to pursue legal remedy for wrongful termination and unpaid wages, and a consultation can help you understand the best course of action.
