Book Description:
Everything you need to know about your rights as an employee―and how to enforce them. Learn what you can and can’t be fired or disciplined for, whether you’re owed unpaid wages, when you can take time off and for how long, and more.
From the Author:
While there are many employers out there that treat employees fairly and consistently, there are many others that don’t follow the law―because they either don’t know or don’t care about their obligations. Fortunately, federal, state, and locals laws protect you from discrimination and harassment, privacy invasions, wrongful termination, and more. The only way to protect yourself is to know your rights and how to enforce them, if it comes to that.
