Report Link Tennessee Court of Appeals Rules that An Employee Need Not be a Whistleblower To Establish a Common Law Retaliatory Discharge Claim.Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC - March 11, 2009 In a ruling handed down March 2, 2009, the Tennessee Court of Appeals determined that a claim of common law retaliatory discharge may be maintained where an employer's termination of an at will employee is substantially motivated by either the employee's refusal to participate in or to remain silent about an illegal activity or one which violates a clear and well-defined public policy. The employee need not report the alleged illegal activity to anyone. This holding substantially alters an earlier decision in which the Court of Appeals had held that a former employee must allege he reported alleged illegal activities to someone other than the individual who asked him to engage in the alleged activity.
