North Carolina Whistleblower Protection

North Carolina whistleblower protection from workplace retaliation means that North Carolina employers cannot take retaliatory action against an employee, contractor or agent for reporting fraudulent conduct by the employer.

Under federal False Claims Act and the North Carolina False Claims Act, whistleblowers are entitled, and may seek compensation, for workplace discharge, firing, harassment, threats, demotions, reduction in pay, suspensions, or other discriminatory actions.

A whistleblower who is a victim of workplace retaliation is entitled to job reinstatement, double pack pay, interest on back pay, monetary damages for special damages, and reasonable attorney’s fees.

Both the U.S. Congress and the North Carolina legislature recognize that without the help of inside employees, fraud often goes unreported.  That is why the federal False Claims Act and the North Carolina False Claims Act incentivizes whistleblowers by allowing whistleblowers to receive a percentage of any recover.
