An Update and Overview of Federal and Tennessee Whistleblower Laws:

Whistleblower laws in the employment context have proliferated in recent years creating new protections for employees and obligations for employers.

This program will provide a brief overview of the various Federal Whistleblower laws enforced by the US Department of Labor and examine Tennessee employment laws, such as the Tennessee Public Protection Act, that provide protections for employees who complain about alleged unlawful employer practices.
