About Whistleblower Claims
Whistleblower claims protect employees who report illegal activity, fraud, safety violations, or other misconduct by their employer. Various federal and state laws provide whistleblower protections, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the False Claims Act, and OSHA regulations. Employers cannot retaliate against employees who make good-faith reports of wrongdoing.
