Whistleblower Retaliation
Colorado Employment Law Attorneys
Whistleblower Protections
Whistleblowers are protected by law. A whistleblower is someone who reports illegal activities by their employer or who refuses to perform an illegal act when ordered to do so by an employer.
Whistleblowers are often seen as heroes by the outside world, but within their companies they may face harsh treatment. We are here to help you protect your reputation and maintain your dignity for acting ethically. You do not have to face this alone. We are here to help you every step of the way.
If you are considering "blowing the whistle," we recommend you contact a lawyer to protect yourself before doing so. If you believe you have been retaliated against or wrongfully terminated because you have already blown the whistle, you have rights and remedies against your employer. Asserting these rights and taking a stand can be a stressful and intimidating decision, but with an experienced whistleblower attorney by your side, you can move forward knowing you are protected.
At Elwyn F. Schaefer & Associates, P.C., we have been helping people in Colorado who have employment issues for more 25 years. We are familiar with all laws and regulations that protect employees, including the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. Contact us today to schedule a free, confidential telephone appointment to discuss your employer's practices.
We recommend you document your complaints and notify management or ownership of your concerns. If the victimization continues, or you are retaliated against or terminated in reprisal for your actions, you may wish to file suit against your employer. You may qualify for damages if you were injured economically or emotionally by the retaliation.
We will help you collect evidence of your employer's wrongful actions, such as witness statements by current and former co-workers. Our attorneys will help you build your case demonstrating that you were unfairly treated or fired for bringing your employer's illegal behavior to light.
If you feel you are being punished for being a whistleblower, contact our offices today to schedule a free confidential telephone consultation with our experienced staff.
