The Whistlerblower’s Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Doing What’s Right and Protecting Yourself

This first-ever consumer guide to whistleblowing sets forth 21 basic rules every potential whistleblower needs to know in order to effect real change, protect your job and, frequently, win a monetary reward for stepping forward.

If you suspect that your employer is skirting safety or environmental rules, cheating on taxes, violating government contracts, committing financial fraud, or breaking the law, you’re not alone: Close to 50 percent of American workers have witnessed fraud or misconduct at work, the author says. He explains nearly all federal and state laws regarding whistleblowing, and makes clear the dangers of blindly trusting internal corporate “hotlines” to obtaining the proof you need to win the case.

Also included are six easy-reference checklists on whistleblower reward laws and other legislation, and a go-to list of agencies and organizations that can help you blow the whistle. 358 pages paperback
