In order to meet the conditions of some of the federal grants that Weld County receives, the department is required to provide written notice to employees of the rights and remedies provided by the statute noted above. This bulletin is being distributed to meet that requirement. Pursuant to 41 U.S.C. § 4712: An "employee of a contractor, subcontractor, grantee [or subgrantee] may not be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against as a reprisal for whistleblowing."

Whistleblowing is defined as making a disclosure "that the employee reasonably believes" is evidence of any of the following: Gross mismanagement of a federal contract or grant A gross waste of federal funds An abuse of authority relating to a federal contract or grant A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety A violation of law, rule, or regulation related to a federal contract or grant (including the competition for, or negotiation of, a contract or grant). To qualify under the statute, the employee's disclosure must be made to: A Member of Congress, or a representative of a Congressional Committee An Inspector General The Government Accountability Office A federal employee responsible for contract or grant oversight or management at the relevant agency A court or grand jury A management official or other employee of the contractor, subcontractor, grantee, or subgrantee who has the responsibility to investigate, discover, or address misconduct.
