What does a whistle blower case refer to?
A whistle blower case refers to an employer retaliating against an employee for objecting to, opposing or refusing to engage in illegal conduct, or conduct the employee reasonably believes to be illegal. For example, if an employee complains to the employer about conduct that the employee believes is employment discrimination and the employer retaliates against the employee by demoting or firing the employee, the employee may have a whistle blower case. Similarly, if an employee refuses to follow the employer’s order to break the law, such as intentionally over charging clients, and then the employer retaliates against the employee, the employee may have a whistle blower case.
