Overview

Knowing your legal rights may make the difference between bringing home a weekly paycheck and standing on an unemployment line. Here is a thorough, authoritative guide to the wide range of laws that protect an employee during the hiring process, on the job, and even after being laid off, fired, or reaching retirement. This comprehensive handbook also explains what role a union plays in dealing with employers, which laws guard against discrimination, and what federal agencies regulate conditions of employment and the relationship between workers and their bosses. The Rights of Employees includes important information on social security, workers' compensation, and unemployment insurance, and it provides a detailed listing of legal resources for victims of employ­ment discrimination.
