When someone refuses to participate in the illegal activities of his or her employers and reports them to the appropriate authorities, they are known as whistleblowers, and they are often the target of retaliation by their employers, which is illegal.

Understanding West Virginia Whistleblower Protection Laws

Workers reporting illegal activity by their employers are protected under both West Virginia and federal law. Employers are prohibited by West Virginia law from firing, threatening, discriminating, or otherwise retaliating against whistleblowers who:

  • Identify wrongdoing to government agencies
  • Initiate a legal proceeding against an employer for unlawful activities
  • Testify against an employer

Whistleblowers who file a claim against their employers may seek reinstatement, back pay, benefits, other damages, court costs, and attorney fees.
