Employment Law

Employment law covers nearly every aspect of the working world. Federal and state laws regulate how workers are hired, what they may be paid, their hours and breaks, how they may be fired, and their right to a safe and harassment-free workplace. All workers are entitled by federal law to a safe workplace, a minimum wage, breaks, and overtime if they work more than 40 hours in a week. Most are also entitled to take time off for family or health reasons and to protection against employment discrimination, sexual harassment and retaliation for "blowing the whistle" on an employer's illegal practices. Work for children under age 18 is strictly limited. These laws apply even to part-time workers, tipped employees and migrant workers.
