Employment contracts, otherwise known as a working contract, spell out the exact terms of one employment agreement. For specific situations, some workers are given determinate working contracts for a set period of time at a set amount of compensation. Unless there is breach of the terms of the contract, workers freely entered into the contract and have no legal recourse to action. However, for employment for an indefinite period of time, a wide and varied body of law exists protecting workers' rights regarding issues such as wages, working hours, child labor situations, and virtually any other dispute concerning an employment situation. At the federal level, there are several well-known laws regarding employment contracts, and the specific rights they afford workers and employers. These major federal laws include The Fair Labor Standards Act, The Equal Pay Act, The Family and Medical Leave Act, and numerous labor union laws.
