Course Overview

The public law at 10 USC 4701 and 41 USC 4712 requires contractors with federal government contracts and grants to notify their employees, at least annually, of their protection under the law. Employees have the right to report suspected fraud, waste, or abuse impacting the government contracts and grants they work on for the government. The law also protects employees from inappropriate employment actions by the employer resulting from such a report. Contracting officers are expected to confirm the contractor has made the required notification and, in some cases, has also required supporting documentation.
