Accounting firms are generally reliable institutions, but it always pays to know what you are entitled to under the law and the labor laws. Knowing the law doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to go on strike or start a union, you simply need to know the basic accounting labor law so that you can also enjoy the benefits of your job. Like for example, you have the right to know if your company is paying your social security on time.
You can consult law books or go to a labor lawyer for specific provisions that apply in your area. It may be a bit of a hassle, but the long term benefits outweigh the hardships. And you may also serve as a help to other people who need to know the basic labor law. So you not only help yourself, but have the opportunity to help others too.
