Your Rights As An Employee
We are fortunate to live in a nation where employees at all levels of the pay scale have rights. For example, the law gives employees the right to:
- A workplace free from discrimination and sexual harassment
- A minimum hourly pay, mandatory overtime and certain breaks, depending on your job classification
- The ability to speak up about illegal or unethical behavior in the workplace without having to fear retaliation
- Job protection when you have to go on leave for family or medical reasons (if you qualify)
Some of these rights apply across the board, while others only apply in certain situations. Determining which rights you actually have — and how to enforce them — can be a challenge. Sadly, it often takes the involvement of a lawyer to make your voice heard.
