rdfs:comment
《1998年公眾利益披露法令》（英語：Public Interest Discloure Act of 1998；c.23）是英国议会于1998年通过的一项法令，旨在保护吹哨人免受其雇主的报复行为。由于各种财务丑闻和事故频发，再加之的报告，（Richard Shepherd）向议会提交该法案并得到政府的支持，前提是该法案成为《1996年僱傭權利法令》的修正案。1998年7月2日，该法案获得御准，并于1999年7月2日生效。该法案保护雇员对于某些类型信息的披露行为，包括非法活动或环境污染的证据。若事后雇员遭雇主报复，例如解雇或刻意剥夺晋升机会，雇员可以向劳资法庭提请诉讼并寻求赔偿。 在此之后，更多公司建立了内部吹哨程序，但在接受访问的雇员中，只有38%受访者反应其公司拥有此种程序。此法案备受批判， 因其并未强制雇佣者执行该政策，也没有任何规定使雇员免受被“列入黑名单”的风险。另外，该法也并未免除雇员遭受诽谤诉讼的风险，即使此种指控可能原本就不成立。 The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (c.23) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that protects whistleblowers from detrimental treatment by their employer. Influenced by various financial scandals and accidents, along with the report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, the bill was introduced to Parliament by Richard Shepherd and given government support, on the condition that it become an amendment to the Employment Rights Act 1996. After receiving the Royal Assent on 2 July 1998, the Act came into force on 2 July 1999. It protects employees who make disclosures of certain types of information, including evidence of illegal activity or damage to the environment, from retribution from their employers, such as dismissal or being passed over for promotion.

dbo:abstract
The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (c.23) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that protects whistleblowers from detrimental treatment by their employer. Influenced by various financial scandals and accidents, along with the report of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, the bill was introduced to Parliament by Richard Shepherd and given government support, on the condition that it become an amendment to the Employment Rights Act 1996. After receiving the Royal Assent on 2 July 1998, the Act came into force on 2 July 1999. It protects employees who make disclosures of certain types of information, including evidence of illegal activity or damage to the environment, from retribution from their employers, such as dismissal or being passed over for promotion. In cases where such retribution takes place the employee may bring a case before an employment tribunal, which can award compensation. As a result of the Act, many more employers have instituted internal whistleblowing procedures, although only 38 percent of individuals surveyed worked for a company with such procedures in place. The Act has been criticised for failing to force employers to institute such a policy, containing no provisions preventing the "blacklisting" of employees who make such disclosures, and failing to protect the employee from libel proceedings should their allegation turn out to be false. Under the Act a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) between an employer and employee, often a condition of compensation for loss of employment for some reason, does not remove a worker’s right to make a protected disclosure, i.e. to blow the whistle. In 2019 a consultation was held on adding limitations on confidentiality clauses, following evidence that some employers used confidentiality clauses to intimidate victims of harassment or discrimination into silence, suggesting that the worker did not have the right to blow the whistle, take a matter to a tribunal, or even discuss with people such as the police, a doctor, or a therapist. 《1998年公眾利益披露法令》（英語：Public Interest Discloure Act of 1998；c.23）是英国议会于1998年通过的一项法令，旨在保护吹哨人免受其雇主的报复行为。由于各种财务丑闻和事故频发，再加之的报告，（Richard Shepherd）向议会提交该法案并得到政府的支持，前提是该法案成为《1996年僱傭權利法令》的修正案。1998年7月2日，该法案获得御准，并于1999年7月2日生效。该法案保护雇员对于某些类型信息的披露行为，包括非法活动或环境污染的证据。若事后雇员遭雇主报复，例如解雇或刻意剥夺晋升机会，雇员可以向劳资法庭提请诉讼并寻求赔偿。 在此之后，更多公司建立了内部吹哨程序，但在接受访问的雇员中，只有38%受访者反应其公司拥有此种程序。此法案备受批判， 因其并未强制雇佣者执行该政策，也没有任何规定使雇员免受被“列入黑名单”的风险。另外，该法也并未免除雇员遭受诽谤诉讼的风险，即使此种指控可能原本就不成立。 《公眾利益披露法令》包含一项雇主与雇员之间的保密协议（NDA），该协议通常指雇员有权因不明原因失去工作而得到补偿。但受该协议保护的雇员仍有权在法律保护下进行披露，即吹哨（to blow the whistle） 有证据表明一些雇佣者利用保密条款对吹哨人进行骚扰或歧视以使其保持沉默，暗示雇员他们无权吹哨，向法庭举报，甚至与警察、医生或治疗师等讨论。由此，2019年相关部门在商讨后追加对保密条款的限制。
