On March 3, 210, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it ordered e-Smart Technologies, Inc. to reinstate a whistleblower and awarded the plaintiff over $600,000 in back pay and compensatory damages. The whistleblower was discharged after raising concerns about misinformation in a draft public filing. Both the employee and e-Smart have 30 days to file an objection to the order and request a hearing before the Department of Labor’s Office of Administrative Law Judges.
