Abuse of Authority

Working in a hostile work environment is stressful. Sadly, many people accept the unfair conditions of their situation. A common reason for the hostility is that a person in a management position illegally abuses their power and authority to compel workers to perform work-related or other tasks against their will or in violation of the pertinent labor laws.

If your employer is guilty of abusing their authority, it is time to take action. The federal employment attorneys of the Vaughn Law Firm strongly believe that no employee should accept these actions. Contact us today by calling 877-615-9495 to learn more about your rights. There is no reason for you to lose your job or continue working in a hostile environment.

Abuse of Authority and Whistleblowers

Whistleblowers often step forward in order to expose the abuse of authority. For example, if their boss requires them to work overtime hours without pay, they are legally allowed to report the abuse, and the guilty individual may be subject to legal action. If they assign tasks that are outside the employee’s job description they may be taking advantage of their authority.

The rights of whistleblowers are covered by the Whistleblower Protection Act. This act protects the jobs and rights of those who have chosen to expose illegal actions in their federal workplace.
