What is Whistleblower Retaliation?
Once the whistleblower exposes the unlawful acts, the employee can face retaliatory actions from the company that affect their job or even their career. Whistleblower laws are in place to protect the employee from such actions.
Common whistleblower retaliation actions:
- Wrongful termination
- Public outing
- Harassment
- Change of job duties or responsibilities
