I originally left this as a comment on a post in this subreddit but it was recommended I make it a post so more people can start to learn their rights as workers. I’m not a lawyer and this isn’t legal advice, I’m just a worker who had to learn their rights the hard way. I’m gonna put this here in case anyone needs to know it.
