Where, in his final decision, the Commissioner concludes that an employer has:

(1) interfered with, restrained or denied the exercise of, or the attempt to exercise, any rights provided under the Act;

(2) discharged or caused to be discharged, or in any manner discriminated against any individual for opposing any practice made unlawful by the Act or because such employee has exercised the rights afforded to such employee under the Act;

(3) violated any provision of the Act with respect to an eligible employee, or

(4) discharged, or caused to be discharged, or in any manner discriminated against an eligible employee because such individual:

(A) has filed any charge, or has instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding, under or related to the Act;

(B) has given, or is about to give, any information in connection with any inquiry or proceeding relating to any right provided under the Act; or

(C) has testified, or is about to testify, in any inquiry or proceeding relating to any right provided under the Act,

the Commissioner may order the employer to comply with the applicable requirements of the Act and to provide such relief as the Commissioner determines will remedy the harm incurred by the complainant as a result of the employer's violation, discharge or discrimination. Such relief may include but is not limited to restoration of any rights, benefits, entitlements or protections afforded to the employee by the Act, reinstatement to employment, back pay and any other monetary compensation for any loss which was the direct result of the employer's violation, discharge or discrimination.
