If you are a whistleblower, it is easy to feel alone. Fortunately, employees in the State of Minnesota who “blow the whistle” in good faith on their employers for a suspected violation of the law are protected from retaliation, reprisal, or wrongful termination under the Minnesota Whistleblower Act, Minn. Stat. § 181.932.
Minnesota also recently passed the Minnesota False Claims Act, Minn. Stat. § 15C.01, which allows whistleblowers to claim a share of the money recovered when they expose false claims made by contractors to units of government. In addition, a variety of federal whistleblower statutes such as Sarbanes-Oxley may also protect you if your employer is covered by these laws.
