Helping Workers Who Have Suffered Adverse Employment Actions After Reporting Wrongdoing
Employees in many different fields have specific rules and regulations they must follow as part of the day-to-day activities in the workplace. Employers are also required to follow certain laws and procedures as well, and if they engage in illegal or unlawful conduct, employees may report the behavior to the appropriate authorities. Unfortunately, many employers then take disciplinary action against the worker making the report, which could potentially include termination.

We understand how important your job is to you, and we will do everything that we can to protect your livelihood.

The Facts Of Your Case Matter
Many of these actions originate in the healthcare industry, and they concern Medicare and Medicaid payments. Doctors, clinics or hospitals may submit bills that do not reflect the actual services rendered. They may double bill Medicare or Medicaid, and pocket any extra money that is received.
Employees who report these wrongful acts, known as relators, have certain rights under federal law, specifically the False Claims Act. This act provides for substantial penalties against an employer who takes an adverse employment action or retaliates against an employee who has reported the fraudulent conduct.
