Whistleblowing and Retaliation Protections in Marlton, NJ
A whistleblower is someone who reports illegal or unethical workplace activities, such as regulatory violations, public safety dangers, or financial misconduct. While whistleblowers are protected under the law, retaliation remains a significant issue.
What is Whistleblower Retaliation?
Retaliation occurs when an employer punishes an employee for reporting wrongdoing. Common examples include:
- Termination
- Demotion
- Harassment
- Negative performance reviews
- Job reassignment
Legal Protections for Whistleblowers
New Jersey offers strong protections under the Conscientious Employee Protection Act, which safeguards employees who report or refuse to participate in unlawful activities. The federal False Claims Act also provides protection and, in certain cases, financial rewards for whistleblowers exposing fraud against the government.
If you’ve faced retaliation, our Marlton attorneys will help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice.
