What is a whistleblower claim?

When an employee suspects that there is misconduct or fraud occurring within their place of employment, and they report this activity, they are known as a whistleblower. When this occurs, employers often seek to retaliate against the employee by having them fired or transferred. Because of this, federal and state laws have been enacted to prevent retaliation against whistleblowers. 

A whistleblower claim is a formal complaint exposing or describing certain types of alleged fraud or misconduct.
