Delaware Whistleblowers’ Protection Act

This act prohibits employers from retaliating against workers who report suspected violations of law, refuse to participate in illegal activity, or take part in an official investigation, hearing, or inquiry. It gives protected employees a route to relief through the courts, including injunctive relief and other court-ordered remedies, with an administrative arbitration stage available before a state human rights agency and penalties for employers who violate its terms. It also requires employers to post notice of employee protections and obligations, provides for compensation of employees who participate in covered proceedings, and preserves existing collective bargaining and common-law rights rather than displacing them.
