A whistleblower is an employee who reports violations of state or federal laws, or unethical business practices within their workplace. These violations can range from discrimination and harassment to wage and hour violations, unsafe working conditions, discrimination, tax evasion, and other unethical practices. Despite the important role they play in promoting transparency and accountability, whistleblowers often face retaliation from their employers. It’s important for employees to understand the laws that protect them from retaliation after they report an issue in their workplace.
Under California law, whistleblowers are shielded from any form of retaliation by their employers. This protection extends to various adverse changes to their employment, including harassment, demotions, reduction in pay or hours, unwanted transfers, and other punitive measures. Despite these protections under the law, many whistleblowers still face retaliation and require robust legal support to safeguard their rights.
