Employment & Labor

Employment Law

Employment law covers a wide range of the employer-employee relationship, as it governs their rights and duties. These rules are mainly in place to keep employees safe, and to make sure they are treated fairly, even though some of the laws are designed to protect the employers’ interest at the same time. The majority of employers understand the value of treating their employees fair, however, every once in awhile, the occasional bad employer thinks the laws don’t apply to them. These actions may include not paying employees’ wages, overtime pay, discriminating against them, and even creating an hostile work environment.

Below are some of the most notable employment laws in the United States.
