Whistleblower Rights
There are federal and state laws that protect employees when they complain about illegal activity; these employees are commonly known as “whistleblowers.” Many complaints are protected, such as bringing to light securities fraud at a publicly-traded company; but not all complaints qualify. This is a rapidly developing area of the law that has experienced a surge since the fall of Enron. Legislators have recently passed new laws to further protect employees. Console Law Offices LLC brought the first lawsuit ever filed under New Jersey’s whistleblower law, the Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”).
