Important Information for Whistleblowers
We strongly recommend that you speak to an experienced attorney before reporting your concerns to your employer or the SEC. Reporting directly to your employer may affect your legal rights, including your protection against retaliation and ability to claim a whistleblower award. If you want to protect your chance at earning an SEC payout of up to 30% of the fines collected, it is best to consult a lawyer before taking action.

Where potential illegal activity is involved, it is always safest to consult a lawyer prior to reporting to any hotline, whether it’s the SEC whistleblower hotline or belongs to the company you work for.
