Employment Law

Employment law, sometimes referred to as Labor law, encompasses the massive compilation of statutory laws, administrative rulings, and legal precedents which cover all facets of the employer/employee relationship, including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and many other situations.

When you file a claim for employment discrimination, unemployment compensation, or workers’ compensation, these claims all fall under the umbrella of Employment Law.

The prevalent administrative regulatory body for employment law is the Department of Labor. Overseeing workplace safety and standards, fair wages, retirement and pensions, and much more, are part of this wide-ranging legal area. Employment law deals with both the employer and the employees’ actions, and rights and responsibilities.
