Miami Work Retaliation Lawyers
Should You Tell?
In the course of your workday, you discover something that seems unhealthy or unsafe for the employees or consumers of your company. You may have information about contaminated food, vehicles not being properly maintained, unethical accounting procedures, not paying employees, not paying taxes, or violations of OSHA standards. These are all potential reasons for whistle-blowing — the term we use when an employee reports a criminal or civil violation committed by his or her employer.
But do you blow the whistle? If you do, will you be demoted? Harassed? Fired? Is this situation illegal or unethical enough to risk all this? Or should you be loyal to the company and pretend none of this is happening?
It takes a lot of courage to report wrongdoing in the workplace. Know how to prepare yourself and what to expect by talking to an attorney at Brody & OBeidy, P. A. Call to schedule a consultation .
