Homework Answers
Answer: (a) the whistleblower protection act
Explanation: In an organization, a whistleblower is either an employee or a government agent who works for the government and reports the illegal, fraudulent activities happening within the organization. The fraudulent activities can be of different types such as misuse of allotted funds, abuse of power for personal gains, or any other form of unethical activity going around in the organization. Often, the federal organizations try to retaliate and take an action against the whistleblower employee. In order to protect the whistleblower, the whistleblower protection act of 1989 was made into a federal law in the United States.
