Most of what protects an employee in the District is not in the contract, and cannot be written out of it. Statutory rights apply regardless. Paid sick leave, minimum wage, and overtime attach by operation of law. A contract that provides less does not fail — the provision simply does not bind, and the statutory floor governs instead. The exposure is in wage claims, not enforceability. The District's wage payment law allows recovery of up to four times the unpaid amount, plus attorney's fees.
