Frequently Asked Questions

What is whistleblower retaliation?

Whistleblower retaliation occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee for reporting illegal activities, misconduct, or safety violations. Adverse actions can include termination, demotion, harassment, or any other negative treatment as a result of the whistleblowing activity.

What constitutes whistleblowing?

Whistleblowing involves reporting any illegal activities, fraud, safety violations, or unethical practices within an organization to authorities or regulatory bodies. This can include reporting to internal management, government agencies, or the media.

How can I prove whistleblower retaliation?

Proving whistleblower retaliation involves demonstrating a connection between the whistleblowing activity and the adverse action taken by the employer. Evidence such as emails, performance reviews, witness statements, and the timing of the adverse action in relation to the whistleblowing activity can support your case. Consulting with an employment attorney can help build a strong case.

What should I do if I face retaliation for whistleblowing?

If you face retaliation for whistleblowing, document all instances of retaliation, gather any supporting evidence, and report the retaliation to your HR department or a higher authority within your company. It's also important to consult with an employment attorney to understand your rights and potential next steps.

What compensation can I receive for whistleblower retaliation?

Compensation for whistleblower retaliation can include lost wages, back pay, reinstatement to your position, compensation for emotional distress, and punitive damages. The specific compensation depends on the details of your case and applicable state laws.

What laws protect whistleblowers from retaliation?

Several federal and state laws protect whistleblowers from retaliation, including the Whistleblower Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, and various state-specific whistleblower protection statutes.

Can I be fired for reporting illegal activities at my workplace?

No, it is illegal for an employer to fire you for reporting illegal activities, misconduct, or safety violations. Such actions are protected under whistleblower protection laws, and firing an employee for these reasons can be considered retaliation.
