Reporting illegal or unethical behavior at work can feel overwhelming. Many employees hesitate because they’re unsure of their rights or worried about retaliation. Having the right whistleblower lawyer gives you clarity, protection, and someone who knows how to navigate these situations.
Led by attorneys Andy and Armen, Remedy Law Group offers a focused, hands-on approach to whistleblower cases throughout California. Their experience includes helping employees secure meaningful recoveries in retaliation matters involving California Labor Code §1102.5, wrongful termination, safety complaints, and financial misconduct.
What Counts as Whistleblowing Under California Law?
In California, whistleblowing simply means reporting — or refusing to participate in — something you reasonably believe is unlawful. You don’t need a dramatic “exposé” to be protected.
The most common examples of whistleblowing in the workplace include:
- Corruption: This covers a wide range of illegal conduct, including bribery, fraud, embezzlement, and kickbacks.
- Race Discrimination
- Sexual Harassment
- Fraud: Examples include price fixing, over-billing, billing for services not performed, concealing safety concerns or violations, and false certifications by educational or certifying agencies.
And importantly, your report does not have to be external — telling HR, a supervisor, or an owner is still considered whistleblowing.
In the Los Angeles employment landscape, California Labor Code §1102.5 is frequently at the center of these cases, offering strong protections for employees who speak up.
How Do Employers Retaliate Against Whistleblowers?
Retaliation isn’t always immediate or obvious. It can start small and become more severe over time. Examples include:
- Termination or pressured resignation
- Demotions or reduced hours
- Unexpected poor performance reviews
- Being excluded from meetings or opportunities
- Changes in responsibilities or schedules
- Hostility or intimidation
Any negative shift that happens after your report is worth paying attention to.
How Do I Know If I Have a Whistleblower Retaliation Case?
You may have a case if:
1. You reported or refused to engage in what you believed was illegal activity.
2. Your employer was aware of your complaint.
3. You experienced negative treatment soon after.
A consultation helps connect the facts and determine whether California’s whistleblower laws apply to your situation.
What Compensation Is Available in Whistleblower Cases?
Depending on your case, you may be entitled to:
1. Lost wages and benefits
2. Future lost income
3. Emotional distress damages
4. Civil penalties
5. Reinstatement (when appropriate)
6. Attorneys’ fees
The goal is to restore the financial and professional harm caused by the retaliation.
How Can a Whistleblower Lawyer Support Me?
A whistleblower lawyer can:
- Evaluate whether your report was legally protected
- Preserve key evidence
- Communicate with your employer
- File claims under the correct California or federal laws
- Negotiate settlement or litigate when needed
