Tool 16 — Equitable Employment Suite
Know Your Rights Guide
Most workers don't know what they're legally entitled to — and employers count on that. Describe your situation and get a plain-language breakdown of the laws that protect you, what you can do right now, and who to call if you need to escalate.
Describe your situation
The more specific you are, the more targeted the guidance. You don't need to know what laws apply — just tell us what happened.
Include dates, patterns, what was said or done, who was involved, and what steps you've already taken — if relevant.
Employer size determines which laws apply.
State laws often provide stronger protections than federal law.
