Abstract
In the United States, employment and labour laws derive from a multitude of legal sources, including the constitutional law, statutory law, treaties, administrative regulations and common law. Employment and labour laws are promulgated at the federal, state and sometimes even local level, and each source of law presents a varied approach in regulating labour and employment matters. In addition, case law and administrative regulations provide additional coverage and guidance when implementing the federal, state and local law. For these reasons, it is unsurprising that companies in the U.S. are often faced with the challenging task of navigating complex legal requirements and obligations that do not always align.
