The Central Ohio Worker Center has put together an Employee Rights Handbook. The Handbook includes easily readable and understandable essential information regarding workers' rights that all workers should know. It provides basic information regarding employment laws and legal protections, including federal and state minimum wage and overtime law, employment discrimination, non-compete clauses, laws protecting the right to join with coworkers, the new Columbus Wage Theft Ordinance, anti-retaliation laws, and worker's compensation protection.  This information is particularly relevant to low-wage, minority, and immigrant workers since they are often the victim of workers' rights violations. Vulnerable populations deserve better than to be taken advantage of for their work. Therefore, making sure employees know their rights is key element to our mission to protect, educate and empower workers in Central Ohio.  The Handbook is available at no cost and accessible for everyone. Click here to be taken to our website to download your copy!  You can also contact us for printed copies at centralohioworkercenter@gmail.org.
