Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act

The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) is a law that strengthens protections for federal employees who report wrongdoing or misconduct within their agencies. It ensures they cannot be punished or retaliated against for exposing issues like illegal activities, safety violations, or ethical breaches. The law clarifies and broadens whistleblower rights, making it easier for employees to come forward without fear of retaliation, and it provides mechanisms for protecting and supporting those who report problems in federal government agencies.
