In an effort to expose fraud and encourage persons with knowledge of significant fraudulent actions, several new Whistleblower Employee Protection Laws have been passed and other Whistleblower Employee Protection laws have been strengthened.  These laws include new Bounty Action Laws and IRS Whistleblower Reward Laws that allow employee whistleblower identities to remain confidential during the filing of whistleblower actions.  The employee whistleblowers by working through a lawyer can protect their identity and career by working through a whistleblower lawyer. These Whistleblower Qui Tam protections are allow an oil company employee confidential whistleblower lawyer, petroleum employee protected whistleblower lawyer, or a oil company employee anonymous whistleblower lawyer to confidentially blow the whistle on fraud protecting the whistleblower from potential retaliation from the employer oil company, energy company, or petroleum company.

Additionally, the Federal False Claims Act has strong employee whistleblower protection provisions that protect Qui Tam False Claims Act employee whistleblowers from retaliatory actions by employers and violators of the Federal False Claims Act.  Under Section 3730(h) of the False Claims Act, "[a]ny employee who is discharged, demoted, suspended, threatened, harassed, or in any other manner discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment by his or her employer because of lawful acts done by the employee on behalf of the employee or others in furtherance of an action under this section, including investigation for, initiation of, testimony for, or assistance in an action filed or to be filed under this section, shall be entitled to all relief necessary to make the employee whole. Such relief shall include reinstatement with the same seniority status such employee would have had but for the discrimination, 2 times the amount of back pay, interest on the back pay, and compensation for any special damages sustained as a result of the discrimination, including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. An employee may bring an action in the appropriate district court of the United States for the relief provided in this subsection."

As such, any employer that discharges, demotes, harasses, or otherwise discriminates against a Federal False Claims Act Whistleblower because of lawful acts by the employee in furtherance of an action under the Federal False Claims Act can be liable to that Federal False Claims Act whistleblower for reinstatement, double back pay, and compensation for any special damages including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
