We already reported on the Whistleblower Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937) here. The national legislators have been instructed to transpose this directive into national law by December 17, 2021. For companies with up to 249 employees, this obligation is to apply only from December 17, 2023. Now there is a draft bill available for a corresponding implementation law by the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection. The new act on the protection of whistleblowers (Whistleblower Protection Act - HinSchG) is intended to expand the previously incomplete and inadequate protection of whistleblowers.
