The term "qui tam" is a Latin term with an easy-to-understand meaning. In qui tam actions employees inform government officials of wrong doing on the part of their employers. If the subsequent suit is successful and the employer ends up paying a penalty the employee, not the government receives the payment or a portion of it. Though technically different, qui tam actions are similar to whistleblowing claims.
