Whistleblower Protection

Are you a federal employee that has discovered or reported mismanagement or illegal behavior occurring in the workplace? If you chose to disclose the wrongful conduct, you may be considered a “whistleblower” and you may be subjected to retaliation.


If you are a federal employee that has made a protected disclosure, the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) is designed to protect you from any retaliation in your workplace. Protected disclosures may include one or more of the following areas:

  • Red silhouette head blowing a whistle stands out from a crowd of white paper-like head silhouettes.

  • A violation of any law, rule, or regulation;
  • Gross mismanagement;
  • Gross waste of funds;
  • Abuse of authority; or
  • A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety.

 

Generally, whistleblower cases can be heard in two different forums. They may be brought to the attention of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and/or before the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB).
