(b) Any employer who violates subsection (a) is guilty of a class C misdemeanor.

(c) If an employer discharges an employee in violation of subsection (a), the employee within 90 days from the date of discharge may bring a civil action for recovery of wages lost as a result of the violation and for an order requiring the reinstatement of the employee.
