2016 Whistleblowing Update

During 2016, OSHA and the SEC are continuing their aggressive efforts to encourage whistleblowing and reward whistleblowers. Terminated and current employees continue to invoke a wide array of federal whistleblower statutes to challenge adverse employment decisions. Some whistleblowers have succeeded on their claims, and the SEC continues to award whistleblowers bounties in some high-profile cases involving publicly traded companies. However, not all adverse employment decisions have been deemed unlawful retaliation.

This webinar will bring you up-to-speed on the most important federal whistleblower developments during the past year.

• OSHA’s new Whistleblower Investigations Manual effective January 28, 2016
