Legal Employers

The United States Department of Labor is responsible for administering and enforcing federal labor laws. Thus, employers must comply with the federal law in order to remain compliant. These laws are quite extensive and include the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Occupational Safety Hazard Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Opportunity Employment Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act, the Employment Polygraph Protection Act and more. There are over one hundred and eighty laws and regulations that are all classified as labor laws and administered by the Department of Labor. In addition to these federal laws, employers must also comply with the particular mandates of the state law in which the employers do business. These laws frequently mirror the federal laws and include employer responsibilities with respect to benefits, non-discrimination and workplace safety.
