  1. Ways Whistleblowers Can Protect Themselves?

  2. Whistleblowers are important sources of intelligence for government agencies seeking to punish corruption and fraud by some employers. Employees who report this essential information sometimes put themselves at risk of losing their jobs for handling such valuable information.

  3. #1 When Is Your Conduct Protected? The first step to determine whether or not you have a retaliation lawsuit is finding out if you engaged in a protected activity. A protected activity is when the whistleblower refuses to engage in anything that violates the law. Most whistleblower laws protect not only complaints to governmental agencies but also complaints to a supervisor made during internal or external investigations.

  4. #2 Statute Of Limitations You only have some time within which you can file your complaint. This time is calculated from the day the retaliation occurred and it’s called the statute of limitations. However, deadlines can vary depending on the nature of your case. The less time you have the quicker you must gather the facts and evidentiary support for your complaint.

  5. #3 Preserve All Evidence Take notes of any illegal activities and retaliating against you. You can’t record conversations as California is a “two-party consent,” which means that all parties in the conversation must give their permission otherwise it becomes illegal to record it. But you can keep detailed notes of actions, meetings, and conversations about your employer’s unethical behavior.

  6. #4 Retaliation disputes can be intense and you don’t want to do something other than whistleblowing that will cause your employer to fire you. Be courteous and respectful when voicing your complaint. Some employers may want to claim insubordination to protect themselves against whistleblowing complaints. Continue working and completing your tasks as usual. Don’t Give Your Employer Reasons For Termination

  7. Don’t Quit If you are retaliated against for blowing the whistle, don’t quit. Contact a California whistleblower attorney Tara J. Licata at Mancini & Associates. She understands this is a personal decision and it may not feel right working for this particular company any longer.
