A "whistleblower" is an individual who takes action to report wrongdoing that has occurred or is ongoing at his or her workplace or industry. Many courageous people have taken the risk of reporting serious wrongdoing they've observed on the job, such as when employees or superiors (or the entire company/industry) is:

• engaging in conduct that violates state or federal laws, regulations or rules
• refusing to comply with relevant statutes or guidelines
• covering up wrongdoing
• engaging in fraud

Employers Must Not Retaliate against a Whistleblower

There are federal and state laws to protect whistleblowers from retaliation — that is, when an employer punishes a whistleblower for revealing the misconduct, by:

• firing the whistleblower
• demoting him or her
• cutting salary or benefits
• transferring the whistleblower to a dead-end job or office
• harassing or isolating him or her, often in an effort to get the whistleblower to leave employment voluntarily
• taking other punitive action
