Sarbanes-Oxley Legislation came out in 2002, to protect employees from retaliation if they come forward and say anything about the corporation and their financial reports that may not be completely true. Does this law include blowing the whistle on poor behavior? I know you have 90 days from the retalatory act to file a report with OSHA, but I am unsure if there is another law that fits bad behavior better?
SOX will not help you in this matter. It was legislation passed to swing power back into the auditiors hands and make the heads of the companies more liable for the financial statements among other things. It would help you if you knew your boss was engaged in activities to help the company tinker with the financial statements or commit fraud. but it’s not help for bad behavior.
Sarbanes – Oxley Legislation take care of Whistle Blowers, does that include someone bullied by the boss?

There may be a "bad behaviour" law out there–gods know we’ve tried to legislate everything else–but it isn’t Sarbox.
