Whistleblower Law

There are laws that protect the rights of people to speak up when they see illegal activities. For example, California’s Whistleblower Protection Act offers strong assurances for employees. These laws protect both public and private employees and also identify certain instances of retaliation as criminal offenses. But the laws must be properly understood and upheld. That’s where our whistleblower attorneys can help you. With offices in New Jersey, New York, California, and Florida, Dhillon Law Group provides these services and is poised to protect the rights of any employee who has chosen to speak out regarding illicit activity.

Whistleblower laws protect employees in a number of ways:

• They safeguard employees against any retaliatory act following the report of a violation of state or federal law.
• They protect any reports made internally (e.g., to a workplace supervisor) or externally (e.g., a public hearing).
• Some laws extend this liability even beyond the employer to include anyone acting on the employer’s behalf (e.g., a third-party management contractor).
• They protect employees who disclose violations, even if they do so beyond their regular or official role.
• Anyone who is eligible for protection under these laws may file damage claims for any retaliation (e.g., repayment for lost wages or for damaged reputation).
