Workplace self-care starts with knowing your rights.
The effects of harassment, discrimination and retaliation can be devastating. Understanding your rights and knowing what can be done to protect yourself will help you navigate difficult workplace dynamics and, in the best of cases, resolve problems if your employer acts properly. . Paying women less than men for substantially similar work is an example of discrimination based on sex, which is a protected class.
State law and standards often differ from federal law, so it’s important to research the standards in your state. For example, California’s recently passed Omnibus Sexual Harassment bill is more protective of employees than federal law. Simply put, it takes less bad conduct in California to create liability for sexual harassment than under federal law.
