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.

Overtime Payment Rules Are Now More Complicated

Employee wages, including overtime payments, are complex issues governed by both federal and state legislation. Generally, when employers hire an employee they are classified by job as either "exempt", those not eligible for overtime payments, or "non-exempt", those eligible and entitled to receive overtime payments. These violations include employers who have systematically failed to pay overtime to hundreds or even thousands of employees, smaller and less-sophisticated companies who are not fully aware of the federal overtime laws, employers who mistakenly fail to pay overtime because they assume an employee is exempt and others whose intention it is to purposely cheat workers of overtime payments. read more

Employment Laws Can Work In Your Favor

Employment law is broad reaching and consists of thousands of federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions. Many employment laws were enacted as protective labor legislation. Other employment laws have been enacted to ensure fairness and equality and some take the form of public insurance, such as unemployment compensation or workers' compensation. read more
