Whistle-blower Retaliation Complaints
It is against the law for executive branch state agencies to retaliate against employees who report agency violations of law that create a substantial and specific danger to the public’s health, safety, or welfare, or disclose improper use of governmental office, gross waste of funds, or any other abuse or gross neglect of duty.
Any person applying for work or working for any official, officer, commission, board, authority, council, committee, or department of the executive branch of state government who has been retaliated against for disclosing protected information may file a complaint.
The complaint must be filed no later than 60 days after the prohibited personnel action
