Employment Law Overview
Employment law is the area of law that covers all areas of the employer/employee relationship except for the negotiation process covered by labor law and collective bargaining.
Thousands of Federal, as well as state, statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions make up employment law.
Many employment laws, such as the minimum wage regulations, were enacted to protect the labor force. Other employment laws, such as unemployment compensation, take the form of public insurance.

One way for employment problems to be handled can be through alternate dispute resolution (ADR). Alternate dispute resolution includes a variety of procedures for the resolution of disputes. Whether a company decides to use arbitration, mediation, or conciliation, all of the ADR procedures are fair and efficient ways to resolve a dispute. ADR is widely recommended under the Americans with Disabilities Act to resolve conflicts.
