Section 12(2) provides that no employer shall inflict any disadvantage on an employee for anything done or provided under Part II, and s.74(2)(h) lists the filing of a complaint, or participation in proceedings against an employer involving alleged violations of any enactment, as not a valid reason for dismissal or disciplinary action. Contravening s.12 or s.13 without good cause is an offence punishable on summary conviction by a fine of up to ten thousand dollars or up to three years' imprisonment, and the court may order compensation, reinstatement and restoration of benefits where the employer is found guilty (s.16). Officers must treat the source of a complaint as absolutely confidential (s.13(2)).

Part III of the Act protects public officers who report corruption. A protected disclosure is a good-faith disclosure about an offence under the Act, made to an attorney-at-law (s.15), to the Commission or to a superior under approved rules (s.13). Section 16 provides that a public officer shall not be subjected to occupational detriment by superiors because of a protected disclosure, and s.17 lets an officer who suffers detriment apply to the Integrity Commission for an inquiry. Section 14(2) makes contract terms that discourage disclosure void. The Part applies to public officers only, not to private-sector employees.

Section 74(1) provides that employment shall not be terminated by an employer unless there is a valid reason. Section 75 requires written notice after probation: one working day for under one month of service, one week for one to under three months, two weeks for three months to under one year, one month for one to under five years and two months for five years or more. Section 84 gives employees with at least one year's continuous service who are not entitled to a gratuity a termination allowance of at least one week's wages for each completed year, subject to listed exceptions. An employee may complain to the Labour Commissioner within three months of dismissal (s.82).

Reg. 10(1) requires records under Regs. 7, 8 and 9 to be kept for at least five years from completion of the transaction or the formal end of the business relationship. Reg. 10(2) requires records to be kept for as long as the FIU may require where a report has been made or an investigation is known or believed to exist.
