legal protections for employees

Legal protections for employees are laws intended to ensure fair treatment in the workplace. These include anti-discrimination laws, which prevent unfair treatment based on race, gender, age, or disability; wage and hour laws that guarantee minimum pay and overtime; and occupational safety regulations that ensure a safe working environment. Employees also have the right to organize and join unions, and protections against wrongful termination, which prevents being fired for illegal reasons. These laws help create a fair and safe workplace, promoting employees' rights and well-being.
