Every employee of any company has to work day and night in order to come into the “good books” of his boss. They spend many unpaid hours staying in the office to do something that is not even their responsibility. They have to let their paid leaves go to get eligible for promotions. And yet somehow, the company manages to fire them for something extremely petty.
Millions of employees do not even understand what power they hold because the value of a company is nothing without its employees. It’s not only you who owe the company; it also owes you many rights. We have compiled a list of a few legal benefits that every employee is entitled to have, irrespective of the type of company they work for. Let’s dive into them:
Financial Security
The primary concern of every worker when applying for a job is the salary or average payout. Before the job starts, everything regarding the terms and conditions centered around that salary number is discussed in detail. The requirements, working hours, daily targets, criteria for payments, and quality of work are some of the main highlights that are discussed along with the salary. Once everything is finalized, you sign a contract.
After that, if a company fires you, not only will it give you your monthly wage, but it will also have to give you workers compensation for the loss you had to bear because of the unethical and unlawful behavior from the company’s side. You will need a skilled attorney in this domain to win against a corporate company. Make sure you have a copy of all the documents you signed with that company.
Privacy Protection
Protection of the privacy and personal credentials of all employees is a legal duty of every company. If your company has crossed all limits and shared or leaked your personal credentials with someone without your consent, then you might file a lawsuit against the company, given you have valid proof that this was privacy corruption and not a part of your job. Make sure you know the basics of law about the privacy protection in employment.
Lawful Termination
It is the right of every employee they have a lawful termination if any. The company can not fire an employee without a valid reason. The reason for the termination that may deem as lawful will be mentioned in the yearly contract that you have signed with the company.
Any reason other than the ones mentioned in the contract would be deemed illegal and you can file a lawsuit against your employer for unlawful termination that can even get you financial compensation.
Personal Security
The company is supposed to provide you with a safe, secure, and comfortable workplace to work in. If you face any threat to your mental or physical health while working for a certain company, you can report the company and file a legal case against it. You can consult a personal injury or even slip and fall attorney in this regard.
