Full Description

While it might seem that your employer holds all the cards at work, you have legal protections. Your Rights at Work helps the reader understand what his or her rights are in the workplace, what employers are legally allowed to do, and how an employee should handle the situation if something illegal does occur.

This book discusses:

• The hiring process
• Wages and hours
• Discrimination and harassment
• Health and safety of employees
• Discipline and termination
• Right to privacy in the workplace
• When and how to file a lawsuit

Your Rights at Work also explains the new minimum wage law, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the right to privacy issues in terms of the screening of employee email, Internet usage, and phone calls. Use the practical advice offered in this book to guide you through the maze of laws and regulations that concern you and learn how to protect yourself at work.

"Clear, concise and easy to read, Your Rights at Work does more than lay out the law, it lays out the structure for an optimal workplace."
- Geraldine Ferraro, Former Congresswoman and Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission
