How To Manage Retaliation

Retaliation is when a manager takes adverse actions against a whistleblower.

This could be in the form of termination, reduction in salary or loss of benefits.

Retaliation laws make it illegal for a manager to retaliate against an employee who blew the whistle.

This includes potential, current and past employees.

Retaliation claims are separate from whistleblowing claims.

There are retaliation laws around each area of the business including fraud by employers, securities fraud, federal fraud and more.

You must prove that the whistleblower laws apply to your case. 

That the manager knew about your activities.

That your manager took adverse action because of it.

That you suffered from adverse actions.

One can claim adverse actions by the manager by either direct or indirect evidence.

Anti-retaliation laws vary depending on the type of fraud in question.

Time limits range from a few days to up to six years depending on the situation.

Each state provides a different path for filing for retaliation claims.

It’s best to use an attorney to navigate through the complex laws.
