A Handbook for Doing What’s Right (Lyons Press, 2023)
To help you understand your rights. The Fund has several resources available to you.
Learn how whistleblowers have saved lives, stopped frauds, protected their jobs, and earned million-dollar rewards for doing the right thing in Rules for Whistleblowers, Stephen Martin Kohn’s seventh book on whistleblowing.
This book is a fully updated and expanded revision of The Whistleblower’s Handbook, the first-ever comprehensive consumer guide to exposing workplace wrongdoing. Kohn’s thirty-seven rules highlight the “traps” facing whistleblowers today and address how to file anonymous cases and qualify for multi-million-dollar rewards. Kohn carefully explains complex rules and laws governing whistleblowing including the Dodd-Frank, IRS, and False Claims Acts, as well as detailed strategies for fighting retaliation. He also covers controversial issues such as taping, removing documents, and ignoring nondisclosure agreements.
Modernized laws have revolutionized the rights of employees both in the United States and internationally, enabling whistleblowers to be paid over $10 billion in rewards for doing the right thing. No employee should blow the whistle without knowing their rights. Too much is at stake.
Rules for Whistleblowers: Law Library

It includes links to significant cases, major whistleblower laws, relevant legislative histories, administrative regulations, links to appropriate government agencies, and other information all whistleblowers need to know if pursuing a retaliation, qui tam or whistleblower reward case. Rules have information useful for both the private sector and government whistleblowers.
