Newport Beach Whistleblower & Qui Tam Attorney

The first thing you need to know is that California has significant whistleblower laws in effect. The whistleblower laws here protect both private and public employees.

• Retaliation against an employee for coming forward about the illegal activity is a crime.

Employees who know of wrongdoing on the part of their employer are protected when they come forward to police. New laws enacted in 2014 expand protections:

• Those who come forward to report suspected wrongdoing are protected.
• Those who make internal reports to supervisors or those who come forward to an external public body conducting an investigation are protected.
• Even those who are working as third parties for an employer are protected when they come forward.

Why might a person need to come forward?

• If they know of illegal criminal activity or have been asked to participate in a criminal activity on the part of their employers such as illegal dumping or willful pollution.
• A worker may know of California wage or labor violations and wish to report it.
• Public employees may want to report wasteful or incompetent activities to a state agency.
• Workers may need to report unsafe working conditions.
