“Whistleblowers”
Marie SINNIGER :

Thomas ALBERTI :
Senior Associate and a member of the Employment Law practice of Luther’s Luxembourg office. Thomas focuses on contentious and non-contentious employment law aspects.
Whistleblowers are more and more in the spotlight within the European area.
The provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/1937, which should ensure the protection of whistleblowers within the European Union, will be transposed into Luxembourg law very soon via a draft law n°7945. Considering the impact that this transposition will have, as of 2023, for Luxembourg employers, especially those employing more than 50 employees, it seems appropriate to present this draft law.
This presentation will focus on (a) the channels through which an employee will have to be able to make a whistleblowing report, (b) the handling of this report and (c) the protection of the whistleblower against any retaliations.
