9 Sep 2024 AppFolio, Inc.SEC: AppFolio pays 692,250 US dollars over waivers of whistleblower awards USARetaliation against whistleblowers €626,868

The provider of property management software had employees waive potential awards for reports to authorities in two employment agreements and one settlement agreement; 68 consulting agreements (January 2020 to October 2023) prohibited voluntary disclosures to authorities. As part of a sweep against seven listed companies, AppFolio paid 692,250 US dollars to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); the contract templates were amended.

What organisations can take from it

Separation and employment agreements must restrict neither reports to authorities nor the entitlement to whistleblower awards.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
