Employees need not know the details of a law, rule, regulation or policy or be certain about a violation in order to receive the protection of this policy. Rather, an employee need only have reasonable grounds to believe that a violation has occurred. If an employee is unsure as to whether reasonable grounds exist, it is the Port Authority's policy that the most appropriate course of action is for the employee to report the concern. Employees are entitled to the full protection of this policy unless a disclosure is proven to have been both unsubstantiated and made with malice or knowledge of its falsity.
