Retaliation & Whistleblower Law

The laws protect employees from workplace retaliation—including demotions and terminations—due to speaking up against any employer activity that has been reasonably deemed illegal by the employee.

Who Qualifies for Protection?

State and federal whistleblower laws protect employees who raise complaints related to:

Discrimination

Workplace Hazards

Public Health & Safety

Wage Discrimination

Family Leave

Welfare/Protection of the Environment

Occupational Health & Safety

Improper Quality of Patient Care

Financial Improprieties in Good Faith

It’s important to remember that our law protects the employee even if they were mistaken about the law. Employers may not retaliate against employees who acted in good faith.

The law protects employees who:

Object or refuse to participate in any activity the employee reasonably believes to be fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of public policy.

Disclose or threaten to disclose information to a public body about an activity the employee reasonably believes to be fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of public policy.
