You have done well in denouncing the evil. If you have done what you can, then there is no sin upon you, for Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, عليكم أنفسكم [take care of yourselves]. No harm will come to you from one who goes astray when you have been guided." Your salary is lawful for you and is not affected by the cheating and injustice of others, as long as you do not assist them or approve of their actions.
