Re: Employee rights
If you have a written contract, then you can enforce that contract in Court. If the terms of your employment are oral, you will have a harder time proving the agreement, but may still have a case. No matter what you do, you will need to pay a filing fee of around $200 to file a lawsuit. If you want to avoid upfront costs, you are better off trying to settle out of Court.
