Employment law in the United States refers to the legal framework that governs the relationship between employers and employees. It outlines the rights and obligations in the workplace and ensures that employees are treated fairly, appropriately compensated, and protected against unsafe or discriminatory conditions. Because employment laws differ at the federal and state levels, both employees and employers need to understand the rules that apply in their state to prevent legal disputes and promote a productive work environment. The law also addresses modern work arrangements, including flexible schedules, remote work, and leave entitlements.
