What are examples of whistleblower protections?
CA whistleblowers (or relators as they are referred to in the law) must be original sources of the allegations, thus they cannot use published accounts of fraud allegations or information that has already come to the attention of the government. FCA whistleblowers are protected by the law from retaliation in any form as the result of their whistle blowing. These protections include reinstatement without loss of seniority if fired, recovery of two times lost wages plus interest and recovery of attorney fees and other reasonable costs in connection with pursuing a retaliation claim. Protection from Retaliation: If you believe you have been retaliated against for whistleblowing, you may seek redress through applicable grievance processes or by filing a formal complaint with: • Mike Tyburski-Campus HR (Box 0832) • David Odato-Medical Center HR (Box 0914) • Cynthia Leathers-Academic Personnel (Box 0401) • Eric Koenig-Office of Student Life (Box 0376) For More Information: Contact your Human
