==='''Remedies in Whistleblower Retaliation Cases'''=== | |||
Whistleblower retaliation can exact a serious toll, including lost pay and benefits, reputational harm, and emotional distress. Indeed, whistleblower retaliation can derail a career and deprive the whistleblower of millions of dollars in lost future earnings. | |||
Whistleblowers should be rewarded for doing the right thing, but all too often they suffer retaliation and find themselves marginalized and ostracized. Federal and state whistleblower laws provide several remedies to compensate whistleblowers that have suffered retaliation, including: | |||
*back pay (lost wages and benefits); | |||
*emotional distress damages; | |||
*damages for reputational harm; | |||
*reinstatement or front pay in lieu thereof; | |||
*lost future earnings; and | |||
*punitive damages. | |||
