Defending Your Rights Under the Employment Laws

by Rainier Policarpio

With the changing times and increasing accounts of Michigan job-related disputes comes the need for various laws that focus on resolving these particular issues. Along with this, the Michigan employment force must be able to fully understand their rights under the pre-existing law provisions and utilize them to protect their own interests.

Specifically in Los Angeles, the workers are guaranteed of legal remedies and protection from abusive employers who fail to manage them lawfully. Here are some of the following rights and privileges that are somehow helpful for the employees who may have experienced employment discrimination or abuse:

Right Against Discrimination
As stated under the California Government Code and Federal Code Title VII, it is unlawful to discriminate and/or harass workers based on their:

• Age
• Race, color or national origin
• Gender or pregnancy
• Religious affiliation
• Marital status
• Disability

In addition, as provided by the Labor Code, employers are not allowed to retaliate against their employees who:

• Uphold their rights for reasonable wages
• Filed their complaints regarding the unhealthy and/or hazardous work environment
• Asserted their rights for worker’s compensation
• Testify before the court, revealing the illegal activities in the company
• Involved themselves in other lawful activities not related to work such as political activity and skills enhancement trainings

Any employee who will experience these violations may file their case with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement within six months prior to date when the discriminative act occurred.
