8/21/14

Author: SuperUser Account/Tuesday, August 19, 2014/Categories: California

Poster Effective Date:  July 1, 2014

Overview:  Previously, the California Whistleblower Protection Act prohibited  an employer from enforcing any policy preventing an employee from disclosing information to a government or law enforcement agency if the employee has reasonable cause to believe that the information discloses a violation of a state or federal law. The law also prohibited any employer from retaliating against an employee for disclosing such information or for refusing to participate in an activity that would result in a violation of or noncompliance with state or federal law.
An amendment to this law  expands these provisions to prohibit an employer from enforcing any policy preventing an employee from disclosing information to a person with authority over the employee or to another employee who has authority to investigate, discover, or correct the violation or noncompliance. The law also includes other protections for employees.
