Whistleblowers Have Rights Too
As an employee, you do your job to the best of your ability. If your employer asks you to conduct illegal activity as part of your job, you have the right to refuse. If you know that your employer is engaged in criminal activity, you have the right to report it.
Blowing the Whistle
When you report illegal activities within your organization, you are termed a “whistleblower.” Various laws protect whistleblowers from retaliation. If you have been the victim of wrongful termination, or you have been demoted, suspended, or otherwise penalized for reporting or refusing to do something that you believe to be illegal, contact us for a consult.
If you have taken, or are considering taking, whistleblower actions against your employer, we will talk to you about what you should do and when and how you should do it.
