Here are some examples:

  • You have the right to the minimum wage in the industry in which you work.

However: if you work without papers, your rights are often not respected.

If you have problems at work, it’s important to write everything down and collect evidence. This is very important if you do not have a written employment contract.

Come to us at the UNDOK Drop-in Center: you can get information here about your options for asserting your rights.

We listen to you and support you!
