Garey v. Best Buy
DISCLAIMER: Our firm's past results do not predict or guarantee future success. Each case is unique. Read more
In Brief
An administrative judge decision expanded the interpretation of the statute of limitations on SOX claims in a way favorable to whistleblowers.
Summary of Filed Complaint
After Garey disclosed a number of financial concerns in the company, she was denied medical leave and told she would be terminated if she did not find a new position within the company.
What Happened in Court
An administrative judge held that the statute of limitations period on a SOX complaint did not start when the employee was told she would be terminated if she did not find an alternative position by a certain date, but rather when her indefinite extension of “a few days” to review and consider available positions within Best Buy was revoked.
