Do I Have a Whistleblower Case?
It will also help your case to know and understand the exact law or laws that your employer is breaking. For example:
- Whistleblowing laws in California may be different from the federal whistleblowing policy.
- Different illegal activities may fall under different jurisdictions depending on the size, scope and number of people that the activity is harming.
- The liability for the illegal actions could be criminal, civil or a combination of the two.
Whistleblower protection laws exist in California, but that does not mean that you should treat the matter lightly. Your complaint, if serious enough, could very well be the beginning of a class action lawsuit against your employer.
