Labor Law & Employment Law - An Overview
Labor Law & Employment Law Description: Employment, or labor law, is a very broad area of the law covering the employer/employee relationship.
Anyone who is an employee has certain rights by law, including the right against discriminated or the right against harassment on the basis of age, race, national origin or membership in another protected class. If there is an employment contract, the employee has the right not to have it breached. An employee also has a "whistleblowing" right, or the right to tell on their employer's illegal practices and maintain their job.
Because of the many varied law associated with employment, an overview is impractical. Please see the topics below for information on the area pertinent to your situation.
