Whistleblowers and Retaliation
Under federal law, an employee cannot be fired, demoted or otherwise adversely treated for reporting harassment, discrimination or other illegal activities at the workplace. Also, employees cannot be retaliated against for refusing to engage in illegal activities at work.
An employee can be considered a whistleblower when he or she:
- Files a complaint of harassment or discrimination
- Files a wage and hour violation claim
- Reports safety violations
- Reports illegal activities by his or her company or a fellow employee
Additionally, employees can be retaliated against for simply exercising their workplace rights — taking Family Leave and Medical Act (FMLA) leave or time off for a pregnancy, for example.
If you have already reported illegal activity at your workplace or are considering doing so, it is important to consult with an experienced employment law attorney who can help you understand your rights.
