Vermont Whistleblower Protections: Employment Law Manual Updated, Legal Timetable Added

Author: Marta Moakley, XpertHR Legal Editor

Vermont has enhanced whistleblower protections for public employees. Effective July 1, 2014, a public employee whistleblower's identity will not be subject to disclosure under the Vermont Public Records Act. This new law aims to ensure confidentiality of reports regarding waste or fraud on the government.

As a result of this development, the Vermont Employee Discipline section has been updated. In addition, an entry has been added to the Legal Timetable.
