Employment Law for Human Resource Practice
•
•
Employment law is a broad area encompassing all areas of the
employer/employee relationship. Employment law consists of thousands of
federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial
decisions.
Employment law is the area of law that governs the employer-employee
relationship. … This area is made up of both state and federal laws and
includes many different subjects with the common goal to protect workers’
rights. For employees, these laws work to: Prevent discrimination. Promote
health and safety.
Employment Law for Human Resource Practice
(cont.)
•
In nearly every state, the law presumes that employment
relationships are at will. That is to say, employers and employees are
free to terminate the relationship at any time and for any reason. This
presumption can be overcome by showing the parties entered into an
employment contract or made other promises regarding when and
how the relationship would end. Courts will also ignore the at will
presumption when one of several exceptions applies.

Discrimination in the workplace is another basis for many
employment law cases. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent
legislation makes it illegal to treat workers differently based on
ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, age, or disability. Hiring an attorney
to pursue a discrimination claim is recommended, as detailed
procedures must be followed, such as obtaining a Right-To-Sue letter
from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
