Quick Overview of Employment Law
In the United States employment law, or labor law, exists at both
the state and federal levels. United States Employment Law, therefore,
is the collection of both state and federal employment law and
statutes. However, these employment statutes will prove to differ and
apply to different aspects of labor and employment.
Federal employment
law, for example, provides for the standards to which employers and
employees are to abide by. Furthermore, federal employment law will
also override state and local employment laws. Federal employment laws
will also apply to federal government employees.
However, federal
employment laws will not necessarily apply to employees of the state
and local governments. State employment laws will often times expand
upon federal employment laws and provide for more rights. An example
would be the federal employment law in regards to minimum wage, which
state employment law can provide for a increased minimum wage in that
particular state.
