A whistleblower is an individual who makes an initial report to the appropriate government entity or law enforcement that a false claim has occurred or may have occurred.
Additionally, a whistleblower is one who participates in investigations, testimony, or assistance in an action filed or to be filed under the False Claims Act.
WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION
The False Claims Act provides protection to individuals whose employer retaliates against him/her because of the employee's participation in an action taken under the False Claims Act. The protection is available to any employee who is terminated, demoted, threatened, harassed or otherwise discriminated against by his or her employer because the employee investigates, files or participates in an action under the False Claims Act.
This "whistleblower" protection includes reinstatement and damages of double the amount of lost wages if the employee is terminated, and any other damages sustained if the employee is otherwise discriminated against.
