IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO WORK,
Don’t let anyone take it away.

If you have a legal right to work in the United States, there are laws to protect you against discrimination in the workplace. 

You should know that –

No employer can deny you a job or fire you because of your national origin or citizenship status.

In most cases employers cannot require you to be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident or refuse any legally acceptable documents.  If any of these things have happened to you, you may have a valid charge of discrimination that can be filed with the OSC. Contact the OSC for assistance in your own language. 

Call 1-800-255-7688. TDD for the hearing impaired is 1-800-237-2515.

In the Washington, D.C., area, please call 202-616-5594, TDD 202-616-5525
