Assert your right to a workplace free from illegal discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment. It is illegal for employers to discriminate against you or harass you because of your race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, military status, ancestry, and genetic information.

Ensure your ability to engage in protected activity, such as reporting unsafe or illegal workplace conditions, filing a discrimination complaint, or reporting harassment. Employers may not take adverse employment action (for example: firing, demoting, disciplining, or denying a promotion) against you in retaliation for engaging in legally protected activities.

Make certain that you are properly classified as an employee or an independent contractor and that you are paid minimum wage and overtime pay as required by state and federal law.

Take the leave you need and to which you are entitled to care for yourself and your family, or take time for certain military service-related activities, under state and federal leave laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act. Ensure that your employer is paying you properly according to pay equity laws and other related laws.

Negotiate the terms and conditions of your employment with your employer. Non-union employees may be asked or required to enter into various employment contracts with their employers, such as non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements, and severance agreements. Get assistance to ensure your rights are protected and that the terms of such agreements are lawful and fair.
