labor law

general information regarding labor laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor see the publication Employment Law Guide: Laws, Regulations, and Technical Assistance Services

The Employment Law Guide describes the statutes and regulations administered by the Department of Labor that affect businesses and workers. The Guide is designed mainly for those needing "hands-on" information to develop wage, benefit, safety and health, and nondiscrimination policies for businesses in general industry.

Another useful web site covers a summary of the major laws and regulation enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor including the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act Child Labor Provisions, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act.

State laws also apply to employment and in some cases the law setting the higher standards that must be observed.
