Common Whistleblower Claims

Whistleblowing occurs when an employee reports suspected misconduct at the business they work for. This includes reports of:

  • Fraud
  • Workplace safety hazards
  • Public safety risks
  • Discrimination or harassment
  • Environmental violations

Whistleblowing can occur internally within a company or to external agencies.

Understanding The Legal Protections For Whistleblowers

There are many laws in place to protect whistleblowers. These include the federal False Claims Act and Florida’s Private Whistleblower Act. These laws commonly prohibit employers from dismissing or penalizing employees in retaliation for reporting misconduct. Additionally, some statutes allow whistleblowers to initiate legal actions to help the government recover funds lost through fraud.
