Employee Reporting of Concerns or Incidents

Under the law, an employee or their AER must provide written notice to a supervisor when they believe that:

• A serious violation of the employer’s workplace violence prevention program exists
or
• An imminent danger of workplace violence exists

Once the notice is submitted, the agency must be given a reasonable amount of time to correct such activity, policy, or practice.

However, an employee or their AER does not have to provide written notice to a supervisor in instances where:

• Imminent danger of workplace violence exists
and
• The employee reasonably believes in good faith that reporting to a supervisor would not result in corrective action
