Employment Counseling And Advice/employee Handbooks
California has strong whistleblower statutes that protect employees who report illegal conduct or safety violations in the workplace. These laws are found in the California Labor Code, the California Government Code and the California Health and Safety Code.
In addition, as stated in the section of Discrimination/Harassment/Retaliation, California Government Code §12940 makes it an unlawful employment practice for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing employment discrimination administrative charges, for complaining about discrimination or harassment internally to the employer, for threatening to file a discrimination or harassment charge, for assisting others in filing them, for being a witness in another employee’s DFEH action (or if an employer believes this was the case), for opposing unlawful employment practices even if the employee mistakenly but reasonably believed s/he was opposing discrimination or harassment, or for participating in a workplace discrimination or harassment investigation.
