Whistleblower Protections

October 22, 2019 by Red Bank Legal

Whistleblowers are employees who play a crucial role in the workplace. A whistleblower may report illegal practices witnessed at work. Employees who report unlawful practices hold employers accountable for their actions. Also, whistleblowers who report these illegal or unsafe activities can prevent their employers from partaking in such activities.

However, the law protects whistleblowers from retaliation. If an employee reports illegal activity committed by the employer, the employer cannot retaliate against the employee.

New Jersey Protects Whistleblowers

The New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) protects employees who report unlawful practices in the workplace. Whistleblowers cannot be fired, demoted, or mistreated if they speak up about illegal activity they witness. This whistleblower statute prohibits employers from retaliating against these concerned employees. Under CEPA, employers cannot terminate or intentionally transfer their employees who report corruption. Also, CEPA protects employees from any form of discrimination, intimidation, abuse, or harassment. These types of activities are unlawful and illegal under New Jersey law.

Whistleblowers hold their employers accountable. However, employees who report illegal activity take a risk reporting their employers. Fortunately, New Jersey law protects employees from retaliation.

Whistleblower Protections

Employees should feel safe and secure reporting illegal activity. Whistleblowers should not also fear losing their jobs when trying to do the right thing. When employees witness unlawful actions, they have the right to refuse participation and to report activities to the authorities. If an employee does report fraudulent activity, the employer cannot then retaliate against the employee. If an employer does retaliate against a whistleblower, the law is on the whistleblower’s side.

Let Us Help You

If an employer retaliates in response to a whistleblower’s report, an experienced whistleblower lawyer can help protect the whistleblower’s job and rights. An employee who suffers retaliation may be entitled to compensation, including money for economic losses, recovery of wages, emotional distress, and more.
