Whistleblowers


Whistleblowers are those employees who have taken their steps to divulge an illegal activity of their employer to the proper authority or legal office. These people are given protection against any retaliatory actions exercised by their employers.

To site, employers who have been discharged, demoted or suspended from their jobs or experienced discrimination due to whistle blowing, may file the necessary legal action. This is to obtain suitable reimbursements from their employers. These may include:

  • Reinstatement to the job at a similar or higher position

  • Double back pay

  • Special damages such as for mental distress

  • Interest

  • Attorneys fee

Whistle Blowing Laws are intended to give employees the confidence in halting, reporting and testifying about illicit company conducts and operations. Further, the law also forbids employers from threatening employees to engage in illegal company activities. In California, although the “at will’ employment principle is in effect, employers may not terminate whistleblowers.

In addition, under the False Claim Act, whistleblowers may also have their share on the monetary damages that has been collected by the government because of their testimony.
