False Claims Act ⁄ Qui Tam Arising Out of Employment

When an employee informs government authorities about illegal acts taken by an employer, that employee is acting as a “relator” also commonly referred to as a “whistleblower.” False Claims Act / Qui Tamcases may involve the reporting of fraudulent bills or false claims against the government, including the reporting of a medical or healthcare provider for Medicare or Medicaid fraud.

A False Claims Act / Qui Tam action initiated by an employee, when it uncovers significant fraud and leads to legal action against the company, is a protected act. The law both protects employees and may reward them with a percentage of the money recovered by the government. A False Claims Act / Qui Tam action, however, must be brought in the correct manner. Neff Law Firm, P.A.'s, Minnesota employment attorneys are experienced at handling Qui Tam cases.
