Know Your Rights: Easy Employment Law for Employees

When things go wrong at work, employees are afraid that they have no power to improve their lives. That's exactly what employers want them to think. Guess what? Employees do have rights, but they need to know when they are protected and when they are not. Know your rights!

In his unique, conversational tone, the author uses plain English to explain employment law in an approachable way, so that everyone can know his or her basic rights. In what may be the most entertaining book on employment law you will ever read, he makes the law easier to understand by pulling from both his experience as a lawyer and from his years of teaching employment law and discrimination.

After reading this book, you will understand:
- whether your employer can fire you just because it wants to, even without a reason;
- employees actually have free speech rights, just probably not the way you think of it;
- employers cannot spread false facts or rumors about you, especially to a company that is interested in hiring you;
- what harassment or a hostile work environment actually is, and why words or conduct needs to be severe or pervasive to a reasonable person to actually violate the law;
- why you need to report harassment but also the practical dangers of doing so;
- the kinds of evidence you need to prove a case of discrimination or retaliation;
- if you have a disability, how you go about getting an accommodation and why sitting back and not asking for anything is a bad idea;
- an employeeâ€™s right to privacy does indeed exist in the workplace, but you need to know what is and isnâ€™t protected; and
- the classic ways that a person can lose unemployment benefits.
