Retaliation/Whistleblowing

You may have reported your employer or an individual at your company because you felt there was fraud occurring. Now, you are dealing with retaliatory behavior by your employer.

You do not have to tolerate any retaliation as a result of your honesty and integrity.

A whistleblower is protected by Federal and State of Illinois law and cannot be discriminated against for reporting misconduct, fraud or other violations by his or her employer.

Whistleblowers are like signals that warn others if employers are participating in actions that affect the public’s health, safety and well-being. If you are a whistleblower, you should not suffer career damage or job loss.

Cramer Law Group will help you know your rights and protections under the law. Tom or Amy Cramer will meet with you and discuss what your employer may be doing and help decipher whether it is retaliation against you.
