Who may file a whistleblower complaint?
Any current state civil service or community college employee or applicant for state or community college employment who reasonably believes that he or she has been subjected to an improper personnel action, or who reasonably believes that he or she has been threatened with an improper personnel action, and that improper personnel action is based, at least in part, on the fact that the employee or applicant disclosed improper governmental activities or disclosed his or her refusal to obey an illegal order or directive. In addition, state civil service or community college employees who have been dismissed from their employment may file a complaint with the SPB within 12 months of their dismissal, provided the dismissal was based, at least in part, on the former employee having participated in protected activities under the WPA.
