Labor Law

Definition:

Labor law governs the relationship between an employee and an employer and regulates the initial hiring process, job duties, wages, promotions, benefits, employment reviews, termination and any other area that deals with labor. Labor law also includes litigation of unfair labor practices such as sexual discrimination and meal break issues.

Consequences of Labor Law:

Labor law protects employees from being harassed, discriminated against, wrongfully terminated and/or denied overtime or appropriate break times. Employees should be protected by labor law, getting their right to privacy, fair compensation, and freedom from discrimination.
