Such claim can arise when an individual with knowledge of an employer’s wrongful activities refuse to participate in it or threatens to report information about it. Wrongful activities can include fraud, corruption, or other illegal actions. Other examples of such employer conduct which may give rise to whistleblower claims can be: improper Medicare or Medicaid billing, polluting, theft of public funds, covering up criminal activities, overcharging for goods or services and billing for services or procedures that were not provided. Whistleblowers can be employees, former employees and others.
The N.J. Whistleblower Act which protects the individual who reported the violations, has a one-year statute of limitations. It is generally designed to protect employees who have done, or will do the right thing to protect the public or stand up against employer’s wrongdoing.
