Read on for the answers to five frequently asked questions about the whistleblower hotlines. What is a whistleblower hotline?
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 required publicly traded companies to establish internal procedures, commonly known as hotlines, for handling whistleblower complaints through their audit committees.
Do whistleblower hotlines protect employees from retaliation?
Whistleblowers should exercise caution when using company hotlines. Though these hotlines may promise confidentiality or anonymity, companies can often identify the reporting employee based on the details provided. Furthermore, employees who raise concerns internally are frequently left unprotected against retaliation. In fact, employers have successfully argued in court that they can terminate at-will employees for reporting misconduct through the company's own reporting system. Ultimately, whistleblowers must remember that these hotlines are designed to benefit the organization, not the individual exposing wrongdoing.
do corporate compliance departments protect employees from retaliation?
Company lawyers are obligated to act in the best interest of the company, not the whistleblower. When they receive whistleblower complaints, company lawyers are not required to report those complaints to the government. In fact, company lawyers have previously used attorney-client privilege to conceal evidence of whistleblower reports.
