Who Can Receive Whistleblower Protection?

Under New York law, a whistleblower is an employee who discloses information about their employer’s violation of the law. Often the information is considered confidential information, the disclosure of which is considered a violation of an agreement between the employer and employee. As a result, an employee who qualifies as a whistleblower under New York Statutory law will receive legal protection for their decision to report their employer’s misconduct.

To qualify for whistleblower protection under New York law, an employee must:

  • Inform their supervisor regarding an unlawful act resulting in a specific danger to the public health or safety, committed by the employer;
  • Allow the employer a reasonable opportunity to rectify the purported unlawful act; and
  • Disclose or threaten to disclose the unlawful act to a public entity; or
  • Testify before a public agency that is investigating the employer’s violation of the law; or
  • Refuse to participate in, or objects to, any act, policy, or practice that constitutes a violation of the law.

Given the potential consequences of disclosing possibly confidential information about an employer’s misconduct to an outside party, acting as a whistleblower takes tremendous courage. New York law was designed to reward whistleblowers with legal protection. However, it is also important to take reasonable steps to ensure that the accusation is accurate.
