To whistleblowers | CAA

This page explains the Whistleblower Protection Act, which protects workers and others from disadvantageous treatment such as dismissal when they report violations of laws and regulations within their enterprise in good faith. The eligible subjects for whistleblowing include workers (including regular, part-time, and dispatched workers), dispatched workers, retirees (reporting within one year of retirement), and workers of client enterprises. The term "worker" is defined based on the Labor Standards Act, encompassing all persons employed and paid wages regardless of occupation type. Civil servants are also protected under this act in principle.
