Whistleblower protection: new rules for reporting legal and safety violations.
The law introduces comprehensive protection for individuals reporting irregularities, such as corruption or labor law violations, in both companies and public institutions. It ensures their safety against retaliatory actions and establishes clear reporting rules, including the option to submit information anonymously, so citizens can report without fear.
Key points
Protection against dismissal, pay reduction, mobbing, or discrimination for individuals reporting legal violations in a work context.
Ability to report irregularities within a company, to the Ombudsman, or other public offices, and in special cases publicly.
Companies with at least 50 employees must establish internal reporting procedures, ensuring confidentiality and impartiality.
Whistleblowers have the right to compensation if they experience retaliatory actions, and access to free legal aid.
Knowingly reporting false information carries a risk of fines or imprisonment, aiming to prevent abuse.
