Understanding Whistleblower-Reward Programs: Opportunities and Challenges for Both Sides of the Bar; 41st Labor and Employment Law Annual Conference
Whistleblower-reward programs, which include laws like the False Claims Act (FCA) and “tip” programs run by several federal regulatory agencies, offer significant financial incentives to employees who report fraud and other unlawful conduct within their organizations. For lawyers representing employees, navigating these complex programs can be challenging. How do you spot a potential claim and assess its strength? Do whistleblower-reward laws and programs protect employees from retaliation, and how do retaliation claims interact with whistleblower cases that the government investigates? Are settlement agreements, NDAs, releases, and other agreements that impact the ability of an employee to report alleged misconduct enforceable? These complex whistleblower-reward laws and programs can be equally daunting for counsel for employers. What are best practices to address potential whistleblower concerns proactively, before they materialize? If an employer suspects an employee has filed an FCA lawsuit or provided information to the government, what should they do? What are the considerations around self-disclosing potential misconduct? This panel will offer practical guidance on how to advise both employees and employers about the risks, rewards, and processes involved in whistleblower-reward laws and programs, while avoiding common legal and ethical pitfalls.
