In practice, employers are required to set up an internal whistleblower reporting channel where only authorized staff members will be authorized to receive and follow up reports. The whistleblower&#8217;s identity will not be disclosed to another person and only an employee authorized to receive reports will be able to contact the whistleblower, which in practice will enable the whistleblower to remain anonymous to other people. The regulations impose penalties on employers who fail to keep the whistleblower&#8217;s identity confidential.   <\/p>\n<p>In connection with the reported report, the whistleblower cannot be held responsible for breaching the confidentiality obligation, breaching business secrets and provisions on the protection of personal data, copyrights or defamation. The employer cannot claim damages from the whistleblower if he would suffer damage as a result of disclosing violations of the law. <\/p>\n<p>The employer may not retaliate against the whistleblower by discriminating at work, terminating the employment contract, reducing remuneration or changing the position or place of work. The catalog of retaliatory actions against the whistleblower is open, and the directive assumes that if the whistleblower has suffered damage, it is the result of retaliatory actions taken, and the burden of proving the legitimacy of the actions lies with the employer. <\/p>\n<p>Directive 2019\/1937 makes it mandatory to establish criminal sanctions on employers who obstruct reporting and retaliate against whistleblowers and violations or initiate proceedings against whistleblowers.<\/p>\n<p>A lawyer or legal adviser is the recommended solution to prepare the company to meet the requirements of the Whistleblower Protection Directive. At the BTLA law firm, a team of lawyers deals with the implementation of appropriate internal procedures and channels for reporting irregularities in the structures of enterprises. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae37aa5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae37aa5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_4,1_4,1_2&#8243;
