Workers Rights

You have rights at work! Regardless of your immigration status, the MCTF can assist you if your employer violates your right to:

  • Be paid for all hours worked
  • Be  paid no less than the State minimum wage: $8 per hour
  • Be paid overtime when you work more than 8 hours in one day and doubletime when you work more than 12 hours in one day
  • Be paid overtime and doubletime rates when you work 7 consecutive work days
  • Meal & rest breaks
  • Regularly scheduled pay days
  • Be reimbursed for work materials 
  • Be paid by check with itemized deduction statement and sufficient funds
  • Immediate medical attention, paid by your employer, when injured on the job
  • Health and safety equipment and training
  • A workplace free of harassment, intimidation or retaliation for defending your rights

The law is complicated and a true evaluation of your working conditions requires more information. If you believe your employer is violating your rights, please contact us. The MCTF has helped thousands of janitors collect back wages of more than $26 million and may be able to assist you.  Contact us now!
