Whistleblower Retaliation
National and state whistleblower laws protect public and private employees who speak up about their employer’s illegal business practices or refuse to take part in them. Specifically, employers are protected from termination or retaliation for merely reporting unlawful events or activities an employer is engaging in or harboring.
These can include matters of both a civil or criminal nature such as:
- Wage stealing
- Discrimination
- Sexual harassment
- Fraud
- Misclassification
- Hostile work environment
Any of these and much more could be cause for a whistleblower to report activity to management or authorities.
Under federal and state law, those who speak up are generally protected from any kind of retaliation from their employers such as termination, demotion, reduction in hours, or another employment-related punishment.
