The Workers' Rights Clinic can advise workers in all employment-related cases including unpaid wages, overtime, sexual harassment, termination, discrimination, workers' compensation, family and medical leave, pension benefits, as well as criminal records.
The Employment Justice Center’s Workers’ Rights Manual is an attempt to provide a comprehensive source of legal information about the rights of workers in the Washington, D.C. area. Almost without exception, the law from the state where the worker was employed is the law to apply to any potential claim. Thus, a Maryland resident who works in D.C. must look to D.C. law. Where possible, we have included information on Maryland and Virginia claims; however, a complete discussion of Maryland and Virginia laws is outside the scope of this manual.
