Overview of the City's policy
If you are a City employee or contractor reporting wrongdoing, you are protected from retaliation. Retaliation is a negative action taken against an employee as a direct result of filing a whistleblower report. This might include:
- Dismissal.
- Suspension.
- Reassignment.
- Other negative actions.
If you believe that you are experiencing retaliation after filing a report with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), contact the OIG immediately at oig@phila.gov or (215) 686-1770.
