Understanding West Virginia Whistleblower Protection Laws
Workers reporting illegal activity by their employers are protected under both West Virginia and federal law. Employers are prohibited by West Virginia law from firing, threatening, discriminating, or otherwise retaliating against whistleblowers who:
- Identify wrongdoing to government agencies
- Initiate a legal proceeding against an employer for unlawful activities
- Testify against an employer
Whistleblowers who file a claim against their employers may seek reinstatement, back pay, benefits, other damages, court costs, and attorney fees.
