whistleblower protection
Laws that forbid retaliation against employees who report violations (Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, many state statutes) and, under Dodd-Frank, pay bounties for tips to the SEC; a company that punishes a reporter has created a second, easier case against itself.
In SpanishEn español
protección al denunciante (whistleblower)
Leyes que prohíben represalias contra empleados que reportan violaciones (Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, muchas leyes estatales) y, bajo Dodd-Frank, pagan recompensas por avisos a la SEC; una empresa que castiga al denunciante crea un segundo caso, más fácil, en su contra.
ExamplesEjemplos
- Firing the employee two weeks after her hotline report looked like retaliation. Despedir a la empleada dos semanas después de su denuncia pareció represalia.
