What is considered whistleblower retaliation under Michigan law?

Under Michigan's Whistleblowers' Protection Act (WPA), an employee is protected when they:

  • Report or are about to report a suspected violation of law to a public body
  • Participate in an investigation or hearing related to such a report

Retaliation under the WPA includes:

  • Termination or layoff
  • Demotion or transfer to a worse position
  • Reduction in pay or hours
  • Harassment or hostile work environment
  • Negative performance evaluations connected to the report

You don't have to prove the underlying violation was real, only that you had a reasonable belief that it was and that you reported it in good faith.
