Hello,
Working conditions differ across the world, and as a working expat, it is important to know your rights as an employee.
Are working conditions standard in the USA? For instance, are working hours, paid time off, and sick leave different for expats v.s. locals? Do they differ based on the type of company (private, public, NGO)?
Are there laws in place regarding physical conditions of the office, employee protection, etc.?
What are some resources in the USA to inform people about labour laws and employee rights (websites, governmental associations)?
Have the general working conditions or labour laws changed in any way lately?
How do the working conditions and labour laws in the USA differ from your country of origin?
Thank you for sharing your experience,
Priscilla
Working conditions and labour laws in the USA
US Dept. Of Labor is the official site. Most companies past the mom and pop shop size have an Employee Handbook which interprets the company's specifics. Uscis has details for visa holders.
