WHAT IS A WHISTLEBLOWER?

Mavrick Law Firm Team

There are different types of whistle blowers but the main type of whistle blower is somebody who has objected to or refused to participate in an unlawful practice of the employer. By doing that the employee has done something that he is protected from so that the employer cannot get back at him through some form of reprisal. There are other whistle blower laws that cover what are called [key tam 00:00:28] laws where the employer is being accused of stealing from the government. In that case the employee can bring a lawsuit that’s under seal against the employer and the employee can then bring this lawsuit on behalf of the government and allow the government to investigate the claim. In that situation the employee is allowed to share in the percentage of the recovery against the employer for the theft from the government.
