Any action brought by a person against a government contractor that the individual suspects, or knows, is committing an act of fraud against the U.S. government. The qui tam provision of the Federal False Claims Act (FCA), allows individual citizens to file fraud charges, and bring suit, in the name of the U.S. government, against government contractors and others who receive government funds. The qui tam provision allows the person pursuing the action to share in any money recovered. Such recovery can range from 15 to 30% of the government's total recovery. The FCA also prohibits an employer from retaliating against employees who report what they reasonably believe to constitute fraud.

Whether you have knowledge of fraud that your employer is committing against the federal government that you want to report or whether you have already reported such behavior and are now seeking protection from retaliation, The Employment Law Group ® is here to help.

For example, The Employment Law Group ® law firm achieved a favorable decision in Glynn v. EDO Corp . for an employee who suffered retaliation because he opposed the fraud his employer committed against the government that he believed would endanger the lives of U.S. troops in Iraq. Additionally, in Mann v. Heckler & Koch Defense, Inc . , The Employment Law Group ® law firm succeeded in protecting the job of a worker who experienced retaliation because he investigated and raised concerns about his employer's potentially fraudulent bid to sell weapons to the U.S. Secret Service.
