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.
