Temporary agency worker as a whistleblower

The Whistleblower Protection Act, which recently came into force, lists temporary workers among the people who can report a violation of the law and obtain whistleblower status. However, the threeparties formula of temporary employment, raises numerous doubts regarding the status of a temporary employee as a whistleblower. This article is an attempt to clarify these doubts, especially in terms of indicating in which of the entities involved in the temporary employment relationship may obtain the status of a whistleblower, what is the subjective and objective scope of protection he is entitled to in this respect, and which of the entities involved in the temporary employment relationship is liable for violating the prohibition of taking retaliatory actions against a whistleblower.
