Employers Cannot Trample Your Rights \u2013<\/strong><\/p>\n Millions of people go to work daily dreading their workday. They are abused and they are pushed to the brink of quitting, but they can\u2019t. The problem that most people have is not so much that they have a job that is miserable, but that they don\u2019t know they have rights. Some bosses abuse the system and until someone speaks up, nothing changes. In California, as well as the rest of the nation, there are laws in place that are nonnegotiable and should not be taken for granted. When workers fail to speak up about the abuses that their employers mandate, the system fails. If you\u2019re not sure what your rights are, then perhaps it\u2019s time to look at a few key issues that you may be facing today.<\/p>\n Working Through Lunches<\/strong><\/p>\n In any arena, you should not have to work through your lunch break. If you\u2019re working through a lunch because you are told you cannot leave, or you cannot clock out, you are not being treated fairly. An employer has to allow you to have a lunch break in which you do not have to sit at your desk and work. If you are not allowed to leave and you are working 8 hour shifts, with no breaks, or no time away from your desk to eat lunch, there is something wrong.<\/p>\n
