Employment law is comprised of federal, state and local laws, administrative rulings, legal precedents and best practices which encompass all areas of the employer/employee relationship. Employment law is governed by thousands of federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions. Some of the issues addressed by employment law are: employee benefits (health & welfare), 401k plans, employment discrimination, hiring, termination, harassment, wages, unemployment compensation, pension plans, workplace safety, and workers’ compensation as well as many other areas not specifically mentioned here.
