In the recent years there have been a number of things that have changed how we view our work places. Back in the day when an employerunfairly treated their employees these issues were often swept under the rug to avoid causing conflict and problems. However, the phrase “know your rights” has not only extended into our personal and human rights but also into our work place rights.
When you sign a contract before joining your workplace it is of prime importance that you read it thoroughly to avoid getting caught into any loopholes. However, workplaces are a place that anything can happen and it is your right to be able to protect yourself. Here are some reasons that it is completely justifiable to file a workplace complaint against your employer if the need arises.
Bad working conditions and hours
Not all offices are the best places to work, bad working conditions are some of the most common reasons that people tend to hate their jobs and sometimes even have work related sickness. Badly ventilated rooms, dangerous health hazards and being asked to work overtime are just the tip of the ice berg.
Sometimes the only reason that people do not file complaints is not because they know they cannot win nor have the finances to go up against their employer. If that is the case it will be advisable to round up more employees and find lawyers of legal companies willing to take the case at an appropriate cost.
Sexual harassment
Whether you are male or female, sexual harassment is another very common form of office place misconduct. These types of claims are often withdrawn due to the lack of evidence of fear. If you wish to file a sexual harassment claim it is of prime importance that you able to show valid, identifiable proof for your claim, if not it can be difficult for even a lawyer to take your side.
Work related injuries
Bad working conditions, injured when operating heavy machinery and a number of other reasons could all be reasons why work-related injuries could take place. If the job has left your temporarily or permanently disabled you are in your right to file a claim against your employer. However once again it is for financial reasons that employees withdraw their claims but this is not a reason to anymore.
You can now find no win no fee lawyers meaning that you are only charged depending on how your lawsuit goes. Although there is a cost incurred it does a cheaper method that puts the employee at ease know they are not going to lose tons of money due to the case.
Discrimination
The age-oldissue of discrimination is still quite apparent in work places today. Whether it is gender, colour, and ethnicity or pay grade. The ongoing battle of discrimination cannot be worn without a fight and every complaint and law battle is valid if that means another form of discrimination can be removed.
