Employees are invoking federal and state whistleblower statutes more and more, especially when they find themselves terminated or counseled for poor performance or conduct in the workplace. This webinar will bring you up-to-speed on the most important whistleblower developments during the past year under SOX, Dodd-Frank, the False Claims Act and state whistleblower laws. Two of the country's most experienced and knowledgeable experts from Littler will be presenting.
You do not want to miss this entertaining discussion of the following developments:
- The Supreme Court expands Sarbanes-Oxley to any "contractor" of a publicly traded company
- Employers now face a difficult burden of proof under SOX
- The Dodd-Frank Act matures: Courts decide questions of scope and the SEC issues significant awards to bounty hunters
- The DOL asserts its authority to order "interim reinstatement" and "economic reinstatement" when it finds that an employer has violated SOX
- Plaintiffs increasingly turn to the False Claims Act's retaliation provisions
- The SEC attacks corporate confidentiality policies and separation agreements
- Employers struggle to balance employee whistleblower rights with trying to maintain confidentiality over proprietary or sensitive business information
