Book excerpt: This directive-type memorandum assigns responsibilities and prescribes procedures to implement recent amendments to Title 10, United States Code, Section 1034 (10 U.S.C. 1034), "Military Whistleblower Protection Act," as implemented by DoD Directive 7050.6, "Military Whistleblower Protection." Section 933 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for FY 1999, effective October 16, 1998, amends 10 U.S.C. 1034 to improve the timeliness of investigations conducted under the Statute and reduce associated administrative burdens. Most significantly, the amendment expands the coverage of the Statute to include allegations of whistleblower reprisal made by members of the Armed Forces to Inspectors General within the Military Departments. The amendment also imposes reporting requirements to the Inspector General of the Department of Defense in connection with the expanded statutory coverage. The Military Department Inspectors General (the Inspector General of the Army; the Naval Inspector General; the Inspector General of the Air Force; and the Deputy Naval Inspector General for Marine Corps Maffers) shall establish internal procedures for receiving, reporting, and investigating allegations of whistleblower reprisal under 10 U.S.C. 1034. The following procedures are established to comply with subsection (c)(5) of 10 U.S.C. 1034, which provides the Inspector General of the Department of Defense shall ensure the independence of the investigation of reprisal allegations under the Statute, and to minimize any duplication of investigative effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whistleblowers help guard the federal government against waste, fraud, and abuse. The Military Whistleblower Protection Act provides servicemembers with a means to seek relief from reprisals and to hold subjects accountable. GAO was asked to determine the extent to which the Department of Defense (DOD) has (1) satisfied statutory timeliness requirements for processing military whistleblower reprisal cases, (2) established and implemented oversight mechanisms for its process, and (3) taken corrective action in cases where the DOD Inspector General (DODIG) substantiated reprisal claims. GAO also analyzed case characteristics. GAO examined laws, regulations, and guidance documents; interviewed officials from DODIG, service IGs, service Boards for the Correction of Military Records (BCMRs), and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness; and collected and analyzed case data. GAO also conducted a detailed file review using a representative sample of cases closed between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2011.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whistleblower Protection Act, which prohibits supervisors from taking retaliatory actions against service members who make certain disclosures to the DOD Inspector General (IG), a service IG, or a member of Congress. GAO found that: (1) the act protects persons disclosing information to IG or a member of Congress, but does not protect persons making disclosures to investigative units that are not part of the IG component; (2) whistleblowers typically direct reprisal grievances to service IG, and are unaware that they must direct a reprisal grievance to DOD IG for further consideration; (3) DOD has informally adopted a reprisal investigation approach that determines the whistleblower's protection under the act, the unfavorable nature of the personnel action, the official's awareness that the whistleblower made a protected disclosure, and the possibility of the action's occurrence if the whistleblower had not made the disclosure; (4) unlike the generally more detailed and comprehensive law protecting civilian whistleblowers, the military law does not require standards of proof that reprisal occurred, corrective actions, or convincing evidence that adverse actions are not reprisals; (5) DOD IG has emphasized the importance of familiarizing service IG with the provisions, but has not told whistleblowers that they can request reviews by a service Board for Correction of Military Records and by the Secretary of Defense; and (6) a review of DOD IG and service IG whistleblower reprisal cases found that all 15 DOD IG cases were generally complete, while 8 of 35 service IG cases failed to investigate for reprisal, the connection between the adverse action and the disclosure, and threats of adverse actions.

Download or read book Whistleblower Protections Under Federal Law written by Jon O. Shimabukuro and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal protections for employees who report illegal misconduct by their employers have increased dramatically since the late 1970s when such protections were first adopted for federal employees in the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. Since that time, with the enactment of the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, Congress has expanded such protections for federal employees. Congress has also established whistleblower protections for individuals in certain private-sector employment through the adoption of whistleblower provisions in at least 18 federal statutes. Among these statutes is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). In general, claims for relief under the 18 federal statutes follow a similar pattern. Complaints are typically filed with the Secretary of Labor, and an investigation is conducted. Following the investigation, an order is issued by the Secretary, and a party aggrieved by the order is generally permitted to appeal the Secretary's order to a federal court. However, because 18 different statutes are involved in prescribing whistleblower protections, some notable differences exist. For example, under the Department of Defense Authorization Act of 1987, individuals employed by defense contractors who engage in whistleblowing activities file complaints with the Inspector General rather than the Secretary of Labor. Under some of the statutes, including the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, the Secretary's preliminary order will become a final order if no objections are filed within a prescribed time period. This report provides an overview of key aspects of the 18 selected federal statutes applicable to individuals in certain private-sector industries. It focuses on the protections provided to employees who believe they have been subject to retaliation, rather than on how or where alleged misconduct should be disclosed. In addition, the report also includes an overview of the Whistleblower Protection Act. While state law may also provide whistleblower protections for employees, this report focuses only on the aforementioned federal statutory provisions.

Book excerpt: Whistleblowers play an important role in safeguarding the federal government against waste, fraud, and abuse. However, reporting wrongdoing outside the chain of command conflicts with military guidance, which emphasizes using the chain of command to resolve problems. Whistleblowers who make a report risk reprisal from their unit, such as being demoted or separated. DODIG is responsible for conducting and overseeing military whistleblower reprisal investigations. GAO was asked to examine DOD's oversight of military whistleblower reprisal investigations. This report examines the extent to which (1) DOD met statutory notification and internal timeliness requirements for completing military whistleblower reprisal investigations, (2) DODIG's whistleblower case management system supports oversight of reprisal investigations, and (3) DOD has processes to ensure oversight of service IG-conducted reprisal investigations. GAO analyzed DODIG and service IG data for cases closed in fiscal years 2013 and 2014 and cases open as of September 30, 2014, and reviewed a generalizable random sample of 124 military reprisal cases closed in fiscal year 2013.
