Employment Tip

When applying for employment, honesty is important. Just because you received an employment offer doesn't mean the process is completed. It's not final until the pre-employment process (i.e., background check/drug screening, etc) is satisfactorily completed. If adverse information is discovered during the background check, it may be deemed "too risky" to proceed, thus the offer can be rescinded.

By demonstrating a high level of integrity, you'll save yourse...lf from disappointment and embarrassment.

If you have employment related questions, contact us today for a confidential consultation.

Unsafe Work Conditions

A worker can refuse to work if he or she has reason to believe that: ... any machine, equipment or tool that the worker is using, or the physical condition of the workplace, contravenes the Act or regulations and is likely to endanger himself or herself or another.

If an employer retaliates against an employee for refusing to perform the dangerous work, contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) immediately. Complaints of retaliation must be made to OSHA within 30 days of the alleged reprisal. To contact OSHA call 1-800-321-OSHA (6742) and ask to be connected to your closest area office. No form is required to file a discrimination complaint, but you must call OSHA.

An employee should never be subjected to an unsafe work environment ... period!!! #osha #knowyourrights #employeerights

Stop Harassment

Regardless of the type or the person, harassing behavior is inexcusable. Yes, it takes #courage to #speakout against #harassmentt. However, we can no longer afford to remain #silent.  #stopharassment

Equal Rights

It’s mind blowing that people will go out of their way to make a concerted effort to find 100 excuses to justify someone’s incompetence. Conversely, when someone of a different #race or #gender is “misunderstood”, there is a rush to judgment and an attempt to quickly crucify that individual. It might be time to help with the removal of those rose colored lenses.  #equalitymatters #equalrightsforall
