What legal rights do employees have after reporting illegal activity?

When an employee reports illegal activity in the workplace, they're generally protected under:

  • Michigan's Whistleblowers' Protection Act — covers reports to public bodies
  • Federal whistleblower statutes — including protections under OSHA, the False Claims Act, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley depending on the industry
  • Anti-retaliation provisions within discrimination laws like Title VII and the ADA

Your rights include:

  • Protection from termination, demotion, or harassment as a result of your report
  • The right to file a complaint with state or federal agencies
  • The right to pursue a civil lawsuit if retaliation occurs
  • Potential reinstatement, back pay, and damages if you prevail

You took a risk by doing the right thing. The law exists to make sure that risk doesn't cost you your livelihood.
