Whistleblower employees frequently make big headlines in California and across the country when they report violations of statutes, rules, and regulations in the workplace. Whistleblowers are heralded as courageous heroes for standing up for what is right against their employers who engage in wrongful conduct. Our Inland Empire whistleblower attorneys understand the courage that it takes to report your employer for bad acts and we also understand the risks involved because your employment is your livelihood and we want to see that you are protected from any retaliation you may suffer as a result of reporting your employer’s wrongful conduct.
Whistleblower Laws
There are both federal and state whistleblower protections. California’s whistleblower laws protect employees who disclose information or testify against employers based on a reasonable belief that their employer was engaging in conduct resulting in:
- Violations or noncompliance with federal or state statutes, rules, and regulations, or
- Unsafe working conditions in the place of employment.
Whistleblowers may also be employees who refuse to participate in conduct that results in violations or noncompliance with statutes, rules, and regulations.
Whistleblowing That Results In Retaliation
Employment attorneys at Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers frequently see cases of retaliation against whistleblowers where an employer effectively punishes the employee for reporting the employer’s conduct. Retaliation is illegal and employees are protected under California’s employment laws from retaliation due to reporting violations or non-compliance with rules and regulations, and they are also protected from retaliation for exercising legal rights such as filing workers’ compensation, discrimination, and wage claims against their employer.
