I will stand up for you and seek the monetary damages or injunctive relief you deserve.

What Laws Protect Whistleblowers in California?

Whistleblowers enjoy robust protections under both federal and state laws. These legal safeguards are designed to ensure that employees can report misconduct without fear of reprisal.

Employers are prohibited from engaging in certain actions, including:

  • Anti-Retaliation Rules: Employers cannot establish or enforce rules that discourage or prevent employees from becoming whistleblowers.
  • Retaliation Prevention: It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees who expose wrongdoing or misconduct. This includes adverse actions such as termination, demotion, or other forms of punishment.
  • Refusal of Unlawful Orders: Whistleblowers are shielded from retaliation when they decline to carry out orders or activities that violate state or federal laws or regulations.
  • Past Whistleblowing: Employees who have blown the whistle in a previous job are safeguarded against retaliation by their current employer.

Should an employer fail to uphold these protections, they may face legal consequences and potential retaliation claims.
