West Virginia Laws that Protect Whistleblowers
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
