21 Mar 2025 Východoslovenská vodárenská spoločnosť, a.s.East Slovak water company: 2,000 EUR for missing information on external reporting channels SlovakiaMissing or inadequate reporting channel €2,000

The Úrad na ochranu oznamovateľov (Slovak Whistleblower Protection Office) initially imposed 10,000 EUR because the water utility’s policy named an e-mail address that had been deactivated since October 2022 as a reporting channel available around the clock and because employees were not informed comprehensibly about external reporting channels. On appeal, the head of the authority dropped the e-mail allegation for procedural reasons, set aside the part concerning the failure to acknowledge a report and set the fine at 2,000 EUR solely for the missing information on reporting channels to the competent authorities (September 2023 to September 2024).

What organisations can take from it

Test reporting channels regularly: an undeliverable whistleblower address is as good as none at all.
