North Carolina H403 — Workers' Rights Act protects employee rights to discuss wages, prohibits at-will employment, and mandates paid breaks and meal.

North Carolina H403 — Workers' Rights Act prohibits employers from requiring employees to sign waivers that deny the right to disclose wages and from retaliating against employees for discussing wages. The act abolishes the at-will employment doctrine, requiring just cause for termination. It mandates paid meal periods and work breaks for employees working more than six hours. The act also eliminates the subminimum wage for tipped employees, restores retiree medical benefits, and allows local governments to set minimum wages.
