How Do Worker’s Rights Protect Me?

When you become an employee of a company, you have specific rights that make your time of employment as positive as possible. These worker’s rights protect you from many things such as sexual harassment and discrimination. Worker’s rights also set standards for wages and hours an employee can work. These rights keep employees safe in the workplace. If your rights have been infringed upon and you require legal assistance, the Law Office of Perry Piñón can help.

Worker’s Rights Keep Workers and Employers in Check

More often than not, employers discriminate and harass employees based on the employee’s age, sex, race, or color. Worker’s Rights protect employees from this negative behavior. There are laws in place that make it illegal to favor employees over others based solely on superficial or personal reasons. Sexual harassment in the workplace is also an issue. Even though women are the most common victims of sexual harassment, it can still occur to men. Regardless, sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal and must not proceed further. Victims of sexual harassment can complain to a supervisor if a coworker is the culprit. When the supervisor or employer is the sexual harasser, the victim can seek assistance from an employment attorney.

Worker’s Rights Protect Your Wages and Hours

Another way Worker’s Rights protect employees is by establishing comfortable working hours. Worker’s Rights make it illegal for employers to force employees to work for way more hours than physically possible. In many states, these rights also guarantee a minimum wage. Depending on the state, your wages and hours may be different. Regardless, employees have protection and have a guarantee to work for enough hours and receive payment accordingly. Worker’s Rights infringement can occur in many different ways. By speaking with a lawyer, you can understand whether or not your case has any water to stand in. So, let us help.
