Certain employment laws provide protection against
retaliation for those who report violations of laws, or participate in
investigations or serve as witnesses in particular types of cases. Those
activities are really at the core of what lawyers are thinking about when they
talk about whistleblower protections. Whistleblowing can consist of reporting
crimes or fraud (or possibly unethical conduct) to government agencies (or even
sometimes to the company's management). Also, whistleblowing can consist of
serving as a witness in many different types of cases, or assisting in
investigations of many different types. BUT NOT ALL WHISTLEBLOWING-TYPE ACTIVITY
IS PROTECTED FROM RETALIATION. It gets very complicated. See a lawyer right away
if you think you are being retaliated against.
What employment protections apply to whistleblowers?
Those persons who engage in some form of important whistleblowing have engaged
in conduct that gives them legal protection against retaliation. The protection
against retaliation is the most important work-place right that whistleblowing
gives you. If you blew the whistle on something, but didn't get retaliated
against, then you probably wouldn't be reading this anyway.
Whistleblower protection might apply even if you were not fired in retaliation
for the whistleblowing, but you have been significantly mistreated in the terms
and conditions of your employment. If you have engaged in whistleblowing and are
being retaliated against in any way, consider calling a lawyer.
There are many laws, both Federal and California, that expressly provide for
whistleblower protection of some type. If you work in an industry that is
regulated by the government and you report a violation of a significant rule
governing your industry, or refuse to violate a significant such rule, and you
get retaliated against, then you should suspect that a whistleblower law may
exist that provides you with special legal rights.
It is important to know what to do to protect the legal rights of yourself and
your loved ones. Selecting the right Sacramento employment lawyer is an
important decision. You should choose someone who is experienced, aggressive and
dedicated to working to get fair compensation. Over the past we have
