It sounds like it could be covered under the whistleblower law, but it can be a fairly lengthy process to go through, don’t not work thinking you’ll have your job back in a few days.

Also, in many cases with the federal whistle blower act you would be entitled to 10% of the government’s claim (actual losses, interest and penalties) so many lawyers will take this on a contingency basis. But also like many federal whistleblower cases if you made an anonymous complaint and the employer happens to figure out it was you there is no protection from discharge.

what is the difference between a job and a wife??? after 20 years the job still sucks!!!! your salary is $39,520.00 per year, and you are complaining. if what you say is true he will probably settle with the IRS. then to do it correctly you get paid minimum wage plus overtime. no more bonus because he has to pay back taxes and lawyers. you just took an eight dollar per hour pay cut.

Sounds like a slam dunk. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a qualified lawyer to represent you. More than 200 people? That's a big payday for the lawfirm, so you should have no trouble. Way to be honest about the employer. Most would have taken the money and prayed that they wouldn't end up as the defendant.
