REPORTING CHANNEL ACCORDING TO THE WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION ACT
Whistleblowers have been protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act since 2023, transforming the EU Whistleblower Directive. Companies with 50 or more employees must:
set up qualified reporting channels,
process incoming reports correctly and on time,
conduct legal investigations and
correspond with authorities and other parties.
Employees also include civil servants, judges, trainees and others. The reporting office must not be subject to any conflicts of interest. Violations of the Whistleblower Protection Act can be punished with fines of up to 50,000 Euros. Many companies wish to outsource this activity to specialized service providers.
Breyer Legal acts for you as an independent reporting channel with legal expertise and will be happy to advise you on all aspects of the Whistleblower Protection Act, especially as there are interactions with employment law, press law and data protection law. We will also be happy to coordinate with your data protection officer and your works or staff council.
In addition to all other mandatory and optional reporting channels, Breyer Legal offers you its own user-friendly reporting portal, which takes reporters by the hand and provides comprehensive information about their rights and obligations. Data transmission is encrypted. The data remains GDPR compliant in Germany – without the involvement of difficult-to-control third-country cloud and analysis tools. The portal also allows anonymous reports.
