It's a sad fact that most people today are not aware of their own rights as employees.
This is the reason why so many individuals are having their rights as workers being abused without them even being aware of it.
In some cases workers do feel that their rights are already being violated, but they have no clue about how they would go about fighting for it.
So the first step to correct this is for you to become aware of what your rights are.
In order to help you in that aim, here are some of the things that you should know about your rights as an employee: ·A worker has several basic rights in his place of work.
These rights include; the right to fair compensation, freedom from discrimination and to privacy.
If any of these rights are being denied to you then you have reason to file a complaint.
·Even when you are applying for a job in a company, you have certain rights already which cannot be violated by the employer.
Probably the most important right that you have at that point is your right to free from any form of discrimination.
An employer cannot ask you certain probing questions that would lead to a violation of this right.
·When it comes to the right to privacy, there might be some variation depending on which state you are located.
Normally you would have the right to privacy concerning your personal possessions and that would include your phone and your usage of it.
You would have very limited privacy concerning your internet use while in your place of employment.
·Another important right that you have is your right to be free from any form of harassment.
No matter what kind of work that you do you should never be placed under any kind of harassment whatsoever.
You should complain right away at the first sign of it.
·You also have the right to have a safe place of work.
No matter what kind of work it is that you, you should always be safe from any kind of health hazard or anything that could cause injury.
·Perhaps the most important right that you have as a worker is your right to receive the right kind of payment for the work that you have performed.
After all that is the reason why you are working.
If you would not be receiving the fair payment for what you have done, then why work at all? ·In case you do file a complaint against your employer then you also have the right to be free from any form of retaliation.
This is very important as well, because workers might be threatened by employers if they ever want to file a complaint.
You should be aware that you have every right to file a complaint against any wrong doing of your employer.
These are just some of the basic rights that you have as an employee that you ought to be aware of, so you won't get taken advantage of.
