This site is dedicated to providing answers to employee rights questions. As an employee rights mediator, educator, coach, trainer, advocate and activist I receive many questions from individuals requesting employee rights answers. My passion is the compassion I have for career seekers and employees.

I realized years ago learning and understanding Basic Employee Rights is the absolute best investment anyone working for someone else can make!

Most job applicants are not prepared for potential dangers awaiting them in the workplace. Most employers relish an employee that has little or no clue about their rights in the workplace. Why? The easier it is to violate your employment rights! Let’s take a look at the following scenario that happens somewhere everyday.

Nancey Naive applies, interviews and accepts employment with WeRetaliate Inc. After the three month “honeymoon” is over Nancey realizes she is stuck in a quagmire of gender discrimination, FMLA and FLSA violations, sexual harassment, workplace bullying, retaliation and more. All of which is aimed right at her! Does any of that sound familiar to your work experience? Do you understand what “exempt” versus “non exempt” means? How about “disparate treatment”? Do you know how your boss can and will use “At Will” employment against you? Are you an “employee” or an “independent contractor”?

Not knowing and understanding the answer to these and many other employee rights questions can spell disaster for job seekers and employees. There are many employee rights and protections that affect your workplace. The following links of employee rights questions and answers are my contribution to helping my fellow employees. A lot of them are real world employment rights questions from actual career seekers and employees just like you!
