Northern California Valley Lawyers Protecting Employee Rights
Business owners and managers have a responsibility to act in an ethical and legal manner. They are expected to abide by state and federal law, pay the appropriate taxes and conduct honest dealings with the federal government. If you have evidence that your employer is engaged in illegal behavior and wish to report such behavior, you will have whistleblower protection under both California and federal law.
At Mason ● Thomas, in Davis, California, our attorneys represent whistleblowers who wish to report illegal actions by their employer. We assist them with reporting the actual fraud and in protecting them against employer discrimination or retaliation.
Contact us to arrange a free, confidential consultation with an employment law attorney familiar with California and federal whistleblower laws.
Protection From Retaliation
Although the law is written to protect whistleblowers from a hostile work environment, it is not always failsafe. Some employers still choose to retaliate against their whistleblowing employee despite the illegality of these actions.
This retaliation can take many forms, including:
- Demotion or discipline after reporting fraud
- Dismissal or termination after reporting or complaining about discrimination or harassment
- Termination after reporting health or safety violations
To discuss your case, call us at 530-297-8034 or send a confidential e-mail.
