Sometimes during the course of their employment an employee may observe or come to know about illegal activity on the part of their employer. Deciding what to do with that knowledge can be a difficult choice to make. Do you report what you know? If you decide to report the violations of the law that you know of, where do you report them? Most importantly, how will your decision impact your employment?
Complicating the decision about whether or not to come forward is the fact that simply having that type of knowledge can be detrimental to the continuation of employment. An employer may feel exposed to criminal and civil penalties and may choose to take action or retaliate against an employee who has such knowledge either to keep them from saying anything in the first place or to punish them and send a message to other employees to keep quiet.
