Protecting Whistleblowers Act

The Protecting Whistleblowers Act is legislation that safeguards individuals who report illegal or unethical activities within their organization. It ensures they cannot be unfairly punished, retaliated against, or dismissed for speaking up. The law encourages transparency and accountability by providing legal protections, sometimes including confidentiality and financial incentives, to those who report wrongdoing in good faith. Overall, it aims to promote integrity in workplaces and institutions by making it safer for employees and insiders to expose misconduct without fear of reprisal.
