A drastic transition
Transitioning from college to your first job is a drastic step, and hence may be challenging for many freshers. That's why it is important to understand what your rights as an employee are. Here is a guide to it.

Salary timings
Salaries should be paid on time. If there are any discrepancies or delays, employees can raise a complaint. The Payment of Wages Act, 1936, allows employees to file a labour law complaint if salaries are consistently not paid on time.

Leaves and Time Off
All employees have access to a certain number of paid leaves, casual leaves, sick leaves, compensatory leaves, maternity leaves, paternity leaves, and leaves without pay. If an employee is denied any of these leaves, they should speak to the appropriate authorities within the organisation.

Notice Period
The employment contract states the number of days an employee must serve as a notice period before exiting the company. If an employer fires an employee without a reasonable cause and without letting them serve the pre-stated notice period, the employee can seek redressal.

Protection from Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
Every employee has the right to operate in an environment free from biases, discrimination, and sexual harassment. If an employee experiences any kind of unfair treatment, they can take the matter immediately to their employer. Companies take matters of sexual harassment, whether verbal or physical, very seriously.

Work Hours and Overtime
The Factories Act of 1948 states the applicable work hours and overtime. Employees should check if these rules apply to them and stick to them.
