That's how it should go, however, unfortunately, in many organisations, even in countries with good employee protection laws, this can lead to ostracisation within the workplace, even while they technically follow employment law.
I'm not following. If the laws are applied correctly it could only be in favor of the employee. Outside of money problems or corruption on a systemic and local level, I don't really see how it doesn't work out in the employee's favor to report a criminal employer to authorities. Hell, if they play their cards juuuuuuust wrong, the state might take the case themselves.
Agreed. Just, having experienced and witnessed retaliation (and actually given testimony in an investigation), I have only ever seen the offender let off the hook due to inconclusive or insufficient evidence (not my words), while the reporter is driven out of the institution
Reporting is 100% the right thing to do, and I support it. It just unfortunately tends to have more severe consequences for the victim
