Whistleblower Protection
Whistleblower Protection
Employees who “blow the whistle” on their Employer’s misconduct are protected under various federal and state laws. These laws not only prohibit retaliation against employees who report workplace wrongdoing but may also allow for a significant recovery by the employee- whistleblower where the fraud engaged in by the Employer is perpetuated against state or federal institutions or involves public dollars. The opportunity for ordinary citizens who initiate such lawsuits to recover significant monetary awards has resulted in a substantial amount of employer fraud to be discovered and remediated.
