In the workplace, a whistle blower is a person who reports any wrong activities or malpractices, often in a case where the company or an employee has violated a law, the code of conduct or policy. Discrimination exists on the basis of age, gender bias, sexual preference, religion,  disabilities and even military status. Retaliation can also happen in cases where employees have filed a worker\u2019s claim for compensation or reported being sexually harassed at work.<\/p>\n

After reporting the issue, the employee is always under the fear of retaliation by the employer. In fact, retaliation can happen in various ways. A cut in the salary is one of the most frequent means of retaliation. Demotion, improper reviews and feedback, not getting selected for promotions, not being compensated for administrative leave, and in worst case scenarios termination, are means of retaliation to which an employer may resort.<\/p>\n

If you have been subjected to retaliation and have been terminated, then this termination is considered to be wrong.
\nYou will be surprised to know that even if a single person retaliates against you, the company is liable for the actions of that person. In 1998, the California Supreme Court had passed the verdict exempting individual managers and supervisors from being personally accountable for retaliation. But the California Fair Employment & Housing Act states that it is illegal for companies, labor organizations and agencies to retaliate against any person. Thus, this makes the company liable for the acts of retaliation by the managers or supervisors.<\/p>\n
