Whether you are entering the labor market for the first time or having been fired recently, it is important that you understand your rights as an employee. Both the federal and the state government has enacted a range of Employment Laws that protect employees from discriminatory treatment, unfair labor practices, unsafe working conditions and much more. This section provides detailed resources on all phases of the labor process, since the interview and recruitment to the rise and termination of the employment relationship. In addition, you will find information on the privacy in the workplace, the laws in regard to wages and working hours, safety in the workplace, policies on absences for family reasons and detailed advice to hire a lawyer specialized in labor law.

Common Issues related to labor law

Labour law related issues may arise in a variety of situations. One of the most common conditions occurs when dismisses an employee for an illegal reason. Under federal law, employees cannot be fired on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, disability or age. Employers who do so may be subject to civil liability for unjustified dismissal. The prohibition of discrimination applies not only to the dismissals, but also to other aspects of employment, including recruitment and promotion decisions.

Federal and state laws also protect employees from unfair labour practices. Employers must abide by the laws on wages and working hours, as the law of reasonable labour standards, which stipulates how much should last the working day of an employee and what should be their remuneration. Employees rights extend also to family life. For example, the law of family and medical ensures that employees receive free time to welcome a new baby or to deal with a disease.

Other issues related to labor law involve conditions in the workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, for example, requires that employers provide a safe workplace to abide by the rules of national security. If they do not, they can face fines and civil liability. In addition, employees usually have some right to privacy at work. For example, employers typically cannot monitor telephone conversations personal or inspect the car of an employee.

Employment Law Attorneys

If you or a loved one are involved in a labor dispute, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer. Because of the wide scope of labor law, the lawyers often specialize in one or a few aspects that comprise it. Therefore, it is important to find a lawyer with experience in the relevant area of labor law. For example, if you believe you have been a victim of discrimination in the workplace, you must find a lawyer who has experience in the handling of the type of claim by discrimination that is going to submit. On the other hand, if you wish to appeal a decision related to compensation for work-related accidents, should find a lawyer expert in administrative procedures that involves the law of compensation.
