SILVESTRI, Senior Judge,
concurring and dissenting.
I concur with the majority in the sustaining of the preliminary objections to the complaint of Chester J. Gray, Jr.
From a review of the entire record, particularly the allegations in the complaint, it is apparent that Chester J. Gray, Jr. would be unable to amend his complaint to state a cause of action consistent with the rationale of the majority opinion as to what is required to state a cause of action under the Whistleblower Act1 (Act). Furthermore, since Chester J. Gray, Jr. clearly has not stated a cause of action in the original complaint, to allow him to amend, as the majority authorizes, would be extending the statute of limitations beyond the 180 days provided for under the Act.
Accordingly, for the above stated reasons, I dissent from the majority opinion granting leave to Chester J. Gray, Jr. to file an amended complaint.

. Act of December 12, 1986, P.L. 1559, 43 Pa.C.S. §§ 1421-1428.
