The Department of Defense – Whistleblower Program

What is a Whistleblower Reprisal Complaint?

Reprisal happens when a management official takes (or, under certain statutes, threatens to take) an unfavorable personnel action against an individual, or withholds (or, under certain statutes, threatens to withhold) a favorable personnel action, because that individual made or was thought to have made a protected communication or disclosure. A complaint of reprisal must meet three certain conditions:

Was there a protected communication or disclosure?
Did the responsible management official have knowledge of the protected communication/disclosure OR did the responsible management official(s) believe a specific individual made a protected communication/disclosure, even if they did not?
Was an unfavorable action taken (or, under some statutes, threatened), or was a positive action withheld (or, under some statutes, threatened to be withheld)?

How to Report to the DoD Hotline:

Whether an unfavorable action was taken or threatened, or a favorable action withheld or threatened to be withheld, is fact-dependent and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Have documentation for each personnel action available to submit, if available. You are encouraged to read the applicable definitions and filing requirements specific to your employee status for more details.
