what rights do i have with less than one year employment?

Answer 1

Rights for what or rights to do what?

You need to be a bit more specific. You have a right to work without fear of harassment. You have a right to not be discriminated against. You have a right to minimum wage. You have a right to overtime pay, if you work overtime. You have a right to a safe workplace. You have a right to take leave (without pay) for a family illness or a birth. You have a right to privacy.

Other than that, not many that I can think of. You don't have a right to vacation or sick pay. Your employer may offer that but it's not a right. You don't have a right to cost of living increases or any other type of increase. Your employer may offer it but again, it's not a right.

You are employed "at will" meaning your employer can terminate you without cause. You are equally free to quit without cause.

Answer 2

Rights as an employee, or rights upon termination?

here are a few of them -

You have a right to a workplace that abides by all applicable health, safety, and labor laws (these are usually posted near a timeclock or employee entrance.)

You have the right to a copy of any document in your personnel or payroll files.

You have the right to receive treatment and other coverage if you injure yourself or become ill in the workplace.

Except under very specific circumstances, you have the right to leave your employment at any time, for any reason, with or without notice.

You have the right to be paid for all of the hours you work, and to receive OT pay for OT hours.

You have the right to refuse to perform any task which is illegal, unethical, or unsafe.

For more info about what legal rights you have, go to www.dol.gov. You may also have rights granted to you under your company's employee policies, so check your employee handbook.

Answer 3

Employment law has changed so that on paper at least, an employee now has the same rights as a long term employee [it used to be 2 years]. I think the only aspect that this does not apply to is redundancy

Answer 4

rights ?

you have the same rights as a person who has been there 25 years , the right to be free from harm , sexual harassment , discrimination , all are covered under law . other then those you have no rights at all , even if your there 25 years . you are employed at will , meaning your boss can fire your butt when ever they want , with or with out reason , just like you can quit , with or with out reason

Answer 5

(Assuming US)

Relatively few. "At will" means that you can be fired without cause and without notice. You're not eligible for FMLA (at least I think not).

You can't be discriminated against for your sex, race, national origin, etc. You can't be physically assaulted or murdered.

Is there something, in particular, you wan to know about?

Answer 6

You need to elaborate a bit more - on your rights for what exactly?
