11/08/2004

The Conscientious Employee Protection Act (“CEPA”) is New Jersey’s whistleblower statute. See N.J.S.A. § 34:19-1 et seq. Generally, CEPA protects private sector, as well as state/local government employees who blow the whistle from retaliation for disclosing or refusing to participate in actions the employee reasonably believes to be illegal or in violation of public policy.
