If you report a suspicion that is not obviously unfounded about a reportable fact, you will not be reprimanded for the tip-off. This means that you do not have to fear any adverse consequences under criminal law, civil law or labour law, such as dismissal, warning or other (financial) damage. This also applies if a report subsequently proves to be unjustified. Corresponding reprimands or possible reprisals on the basis of justified tips are also prohibited by law.
