Whistleblower Attorneys Protecting Your Rights
Whistleblowers often face workplace retaliation for reporting their concerns, whether to their supervisors, through internal compliance systems or to government regulators. Whistleblower retaliation can take many forms — demotion, being fired or sidelined, unwarranted disciplinary actions, a loss of pay or hours, being blackballed so the whistleblower cannot find another job, etc.
It is illegal for corporations, state, and local governmental entities to terminate your employment in retaliation for reporting illegal conduct. Certain private employers are also subject to laws which prohibit them from terminating or retaliating against employees who report certain violations of the law. For example, nursing home employees who report fraud and/or mistreatment of patients, cannot be terminated from employment for making such reports.
