Employee Rights

Depending on the size of your employer, the state where you work, and your profession, you may be entitled to certain legal protections and rights in your workplace, including:

<ul> <li>The right not to be discriminated against because of your race, national origin, skin color, gender, pregnancy, religion, disability, genetic information, or age (and, in some places, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other characteristics) </li> <li>The right to a workplace free of harassment </li> <li>The right to be paid for hours worked: to be paid at least the minimum wage, plus an overtime premium for any hours worked over forty in one week (or, in some places, over eight hours in one day) </li> <li>The right to a safe workplace </li> <li>The right to take leave to care for your own or a family member's serious health condition or following The birth or adoption of a child, and </li> <li>The right to some privacy in personal matters.</li> </ul>

Have you encountered a workplace issue?  In addition to talking things through with your employer, protect yourself by documenting the problem. Take notes of key conversations and events, including the time, date, and names of others who were present. Gather documents that might support your side of the story, such as company policies, offer letters, performance reviews, memoranda, emails and other correspondence, and employee handbooks.

If your employer doesn't seem to be taking your complaint seriously, or you are demoted or fired, consider whether to take legal action. The success of any legal claim depends on the strength of the evidence. To win, you will have to show -- with documents -- that your rights were violated.  To protect your rights as an employee, you should consult with an experienced employment lawyer.
