ATTORNEYS
WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTIONS UNDER FEDERAL
LAW
Under the Whistleblower Protection Act, any employee who alerts
a supervisor, manager or other superior to workplace violations or
violations of laws, rules, and regulations, is protected from losing
his/her job, facing a monetary fine, or being a victim of
harassment both inside and outside the workplace.
WHAT VIOLATIONS DO WHISTLEBLOWERS
TYPICALLY REPORT TO SUPERIORS?
There are numerous ways in which employees and employers can
commit wrongful acts in the workplace.  All workplaces are
different, so the type of violation may depend upon the type of
industry at issue.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF REPORTING
MISCONDUCT TO SUPERIORS
Many employees place their reputation at risk to expose conduct
that any average person would consider to be intolerable.
