The False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. 3729 et seq, gives a private individual the right to bring a claim on behalf of the government against any person who knowingly submits or causes to submit a false or fraudulent claim to the United States.
Qui Tam means in Latin “[he] who sues this matter for the king as well as for himself.” It is a legal tool that permits a private individual to bring a claim under the False Claims Act.
Common Unlawful Practices
There can be a number of unlawful practices that employers can be reported for. Some of these include
- Safety violations
- Discrimination due to age, race, sex, religion or other
- Fraudulent activities
- Sexual Harassment
- Environmental violations
It’s important to understand that you do not necessarily need to provide proof of an employer committing misconduct.
The core of a qui tam / whistleblower claim is that you as an employee have been punished by your employer because you reported suspicious activity.
