More information is needed to answer your question.  If you are worried that you may be sued individually for these issues, generally speaking, as long as you are not directly involved in these acts, you would normally be safe.  But there are exceptions.  If these are criminal issues, or if you are part of the decision process for not paying wages to employees, then you might be individually liable,  If you are worried that the company may retaliate against you for trying to complain about these issues, there are some laws that protect you against retaliation
