About Whistleblower Claims
Managing a business these days very often sets you up for unpleasant surprises

associates and employees. Besides state audits and other onerous governmental
requirements, you may find your business the target of a whistleblower
claim of criminal activity. The result can disrupt your business and destroy
your sleep. When your financial survival and business reputation is under
assault it is crucial that you have a
Florida Employment Defense Attorney protecting your interests.

Unfortunately any disgruntled employee who has been terminated, demoted,
denied a raise or for other reasons best known to him or herself can file
a report with a government agency alleging any number of violations. The
federal government publicly encourages employees to expose their employers
by offering a reward of a percentage of monies recovered. The Florida
Division of Workers' Compensation has a website wherein any individual
can fill out an online form to report "an employer you suspect has
illegally failed to secure workers' compensation insurance coverage
for all of the employer's employees".
The best protection from the fines and penalties which could be assessed
would be to take action to ensure your business is bulletproof before
any complaint can be made. A malicious report made simply for the purpose
of causing inconvenience or a whistleblower claim of
retaliation can be made far less injurious by an experienced whistleblower claim defense
lawyer, who is fully prepared to deal with the complex issues in this
type of case.
