Explain applicable employment-law rights
explain_my_rightsExplain which federal (and state, if a state is given) employment laws may protect a worker based on the type of issue (e.g. discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination) and/or the protected class involved (e.g. race, sex, age, disability, pregnancy). Returns the relevant statutes with citations, who they cover (employer-size thresholds), filing deadlines and agencies, and available remedies. Use this to ground an answer about a worker’s legal protections. Deadline guidance covers private-sector and state/local government workers; federal employees follow a separate process with a much shorter deadline (45 days to contact their agency's EEO counselor). Educational information, not legal advice.
