California Government Code Section 12940(g) makes it discrimination under the Fair Employment and Housing Act to harass, discharge, or otherwise discriminate against a person because they have made a report under Section 11161.8 of the Penal Code that prohibits retaliation against hospital employees who report suspected patient abuse by health facilities or community care organizations. This means that employees in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or adult day care facilities may not be mis-treated for reporting suspected patient abuse.


Healthcare workers are also whistleblowers if they are fired for making a complaint about something that they believe would result in the loss of their license. Additionally, a healthcare worker who is retaliated against for refusing to perform a service that they are not licensed for is also a whistleblower.
