What Is Whistleblower Discrimination or Retaliation?

In New Jersey, the Conscientious Employee Protection Act provides legal protections for workers who engage in “whistleblowing” activity against their employer. Employers must display a written notice in a conspicuous place in the workplace that advises workers of their rights under CEPA. A worker may become a whistleblower when they:

• Disclose or threaten to disclose to a supervisor or public agency any policy or practice of an employer that the worker reasonably believes violates a law, rule, or regulation or constitutes improper patient care.
• Provide information to or testify before any public agency investigating the employer’s suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations.
• Disclose an employer’s deception or misrepresentation to any shareholder, client, customer, patient, employee, or pensioner of the employer.
• Disclose any perceived criminal or fraudulent activity by an employer that the employee reasonably believes may defraud a shareholder, client, customer, employee, or pensioner of the employer.
• Object to or refuse to participate in any practice the employee reasonably believes to violate any law, rule, or regulation, to be fraudulent or criminal, or to violate a clear mandate of public policy concerning public health, safety, or welfare, or environmental protection.

To obtain the protection of CEPA, a worker must bring their concerns to the attention of their employer or supervisor via written notice and give the employer a reasonable opportunity to correct the practice, unless the employee reasonably believes one or more supervisors know about the practice or the employee fears physical retaliation for disclosure.

CEPA prohibits employers from discriminating or retaliating against an employee who qualifies as a whistleblower. Examples of discriminatory or retaliatory behavior include:

• Refusing to promote a worker
• Demoting a worker
• Denying a pay raise or bonus
• Assigning less favorable shifts, workplace assignments, or job duties
• Excluding a worker from meetings or office social events
• Disciplining a worker inconsistently with company policies or past practices
• Suspending or terminating a worker
