There are a number of labour laws and legal bodies that protect your rights as a worker. If you are dealing with labour-related legal matters, it's important to keep in mind the following:
- What internal steps you can take to resolve the matter before seeking paralegal advice or assistance from external avenues?
- If you need to take the matter further, what documents will you need?
- Ask for clarity if you don't understand something
- Make sure you have all the facts of the matter with you. Keep a record of dates, what was said and who you spoke to about your issue.
(Please note: This is only general advice and should not be relied on solely. The law is complicated and there are many influencing factors that can change the above).
