The Whistleblower Protection Act

The Whistleblower Protection Act is a law that safeguards federal employees who report misconduct, illegal activities, or violations of laws within their agencies. It ensures they can expose problems without fear of retaliation, such as firing, demotion, or harassment. The Act encourages transparency and accountability by providing protections, oversight, and avenues for employees to report concerns confidentially. Its goal is to promote ethical behavior and integrity within government agencies while safeguarding those who come forward with important information.
