California Whistleblower Lawyers

The purpose of the statutory provisions commonly referred to as “Whistle blowing” laws is to protect employees and workers from retaliation from their employers for reporting wrongdoing on the part of their employers.

There are provisions in both state and federal law designed to shield whistleblowers from the retaliation of their employers. The following are some of the actions that constitute violation of whistle blowing laws:

• Termination
• Denial of benefits, training and opportunities for advancement or promotion
• Reassignment of work location or position
• Change in work schedule and hours, including reduction of hours
• Harassment

These provisions are enforced by various government agencies such as the Department of Labor and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, among others.

In addition, an employee who has experienced employer retaliation for reporting improper actions can also seek to bring an employment discrimination lawsuit. If the retaliatory act involves termination, the employee could possibly bring a wrongful termination lawsuit under the whistle blowing statutes.
