Work
Your rights at work in the United States: overtime pay, family and medical leave, and reporting unsafe conditions.
Take job-protected FMLA leave for family or medical needs
Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of job-protected FMLA leave after meeting the one-year and 1,250-hour work requirements at a covered employer.
File an OSHA complaint about a dangerous workplace
You can file a workplace safety complaint with OSHA anonymously, and it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against you for complaining.
Get overtime pay for hours over 40 in a workweek
Unless exempt, covered employees must receive overtime pay at no less than one and one-half times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.
