Your First Job: Know Your Rights (and Don’t Get Ripped Off!)

Session Summary:

Starting your first job can be exciting — but it’s also easy to feel unsure about what’s fair, what’s legal, and what your employer can (and can’t) do.

Topics include:

What must be in your employment agreement
Minimum wage, breaks, and holiday pay

Can you be fired “on the spot”?
