Guidelines to Disclosing Wrongdoing under the Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act

The purposes of these guidelines are to:

• inform Yukon government employees about how to make a disclosure of wrongdoing within a Yukon government public entity or request advice about making such a disclosure under the Public Interest Disclosure of Wrongdoing Act;
• ensure supervisors and chief executives are aware of their respective roles and responsibilities when receiving a disclosure of wrongdoing or a request for advice about making a disclosure of wrongdoing under the Act;
• inform Yukon government employees about how to make a complaint of reprisal to the Public Interest Disclosure Commissioner (PIDC) if they believe they have been reprised against because they have sought advice about making a disclosure of wrongdoing, made a disclosure of wrongdoing, cooperated in an investigation under the Act or declined to participate in a wrongdoing; and
• provide Yukon government employees with information about the Act.
