Common use of Whistleblower Rights Clause in Contracts

Whistleblower Rights. You have the legal right to certain protections for cooperating with or reporting legal violations to various governmental entities. No provisions in this Separation Agreement are intended to prohibit you from exercising such rights, and you may do so without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against you for any of these activities, and nothing in this Separation Agreement would require you to waive any monetary award or other payment that you might become entitled to from any such governmental entity. Further, nothing in this Separation Agreement precludes you from filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a like charge or complaint with a state or local fair employment practice agency; provided, however, that as of the Effective Date, you may not receive a monetary award or other personal relief from the Company in connection with any such charge or complaint that you filed or is filed on your behalf.
