“Whistleblower” Claims

Have you faced retaliation from an employer for being a "whistleblower"?

\In some situations, Louisiana law provides legal remedies for employees who suffer retaliation from their employers because of being “whistleblowers.” Simply stated, a “whistleblower” is an employee who reports illegal acts of the employer. That employer may be a public entity or a private company.

Whistleblowers can be described as:

  1. Employees who disclose or threaten to disclose a work place act or practice that is in violation of state law

  2. Who provide information to or testify before a public body conducting an investigation hearing or inquiry into a violation of law

  3. Who object to or refuse to participate in an employment act or practice that is in violation of law.
