Answer to Question 1

Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides the protection for the corporate whistleblowers. SOX protects the employees who report for improper misconduct by corporate officials pertaining to fraud and corruption. Apart from SOX, OSHA and Title VII also protects employees who blow the whistle on illegal practices or who cooperate in investigations and testify at hearings from employer retaliation, such as employment termination.

Answer to Question 2

Model Employment Termination Act (META) relates to laws pertaining to termination of an employee. The heart and soul of META in its present form is Section 3(a), which states that an employer may not terminate the employment of an employee without good cause. Section 3(b) limits application of the good cause limitation on employment-at-will to workers who have been with the particular employer for at least one year. The META suggests that claims under it be subject to binding arbitration with arbitral awards being issued within thirty days of hearings. Section 10 forbids retaliation against employees who make claims or who testify under the procedural provisions of the META.
