SKWhistle: Implementing a whistleblower system in a legally compliant manner
kommunikation@skwschwarz.de
The directive requires all companies with more than 250 employees to have established a reporting system for compliance whistleblowers by 17 December 2021. Smaller companies with 50 to 250 employees are given until 17 December 2023.
Germany should have integrated the directive into national law by 17 December 2021 at the latest, but has failed to do so. For this reason, the EU Commission has already initiated formal infringement proceedings. After a new first draft of a whistleblower law was put to the departmental vote in April 2022, it can be hoped that the corresponding law will still be passed in 2022.
Nevertheless, companies (with more than 250 employees) are already well advised to deal with the issue and implement appropriate reporting systems. Without an appropriate internal reporting system, employees may be able to directly invoke the directive and make reports public.
Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and assist you with the implementation.
