Whistleblower
leads to a $32.5 Million Charge for Hewlett
Packard
The last
decade has exposed Americans to a lot of the
injustices that can occur when corporate
employees remain silent while their
executives perpetuate fraud. The brunt of
this has been felt hardest in New York City,
the financial epicenter of the world. All of
the infamous frauds in the headlines forced
Congress to take action and give incentives
and protections to people that do the right
thing. In one of the most recent
occurrences, a whistleblower put an end to
an ongoing fraud occurred when they brought
attention to the overbilling of the United
States Postal Service by HP.
Whistleblowing used to be thought of as a
betrayal of your employer—that has changed
drastically as countless innocent investors
have been defrauded out of their savings due
to greed. Whistleblowers have taken on a
persona of bravery as they take action to
end injustice. The HP whistleblower
courageously took action out of their sense
of duty. There are now New York City
attorneys that specialize in protecting the
interests of whistleblowers as they go
public with their information. Consulting
with an attorney helps whistleblowers ensure
that they are come out of the process in the
best position possible.
The
recently passed laws offer financial
incentives for whistleblowers to do the
right thing. Many New Yorkers have received
significant sums of money for reporting
their company for their bad behavior. The
sums of money recovered are based on a
percentage of the money returned to the
defrauded party. Experienced whistleblower’s
attorneys help ensure that their clients are
able to recover exactly what they deserve
for bravely taking a stand against fraud.
They also help their clients protect their
selves from retaliatory actions. When going
through a process like this, you need
someone representing your interests so you
are not left being punished for doing the
right thing.
It is
important for people to know that they have
rights, protections and incentives to act as
a whistleblower when they become aware of
their company behaving unethically. Speaking
with a New York City
employment law attorney that has
experience in handling whistleblower cases
before taking any action helps you to ensure
that your interests are protected. Once you
become aware of fraudulent actions by your
employer, you have a responsibility to do
something to stop it.
