whistleblower legislation

Whistleblower legislation provides legal protection for individuals who report illegal, unethical, or unsafe practices within their organization. It encourages transparency by safeguarding employees from retaliation, such as termination or harassment, for revealing wrongdoing in good faith. These laws often include provisions for confidentiality and, in some cases, financial rewards. The goal is to promote accountability and ensure organizations uphold laws and standards, ultimately protecting public interest and safety.
