Human Resources
The Human Resources section of FindLaw's Corporate Counsel Center provides information on matters such as Federal and State Employment Laws, Unions, HR Benefits, Work Visas and more. Understanding and managing labor and employment issues facing your company is of central importance for corporate counsel, regardless of whether the company employs a large or small workforce. Topics like Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), sexual harassment, racial and gender discrimination, wage and overtime laws, WARN Act layoff compliance, OSHA regulations, and various labor organization issues are all within the corporate legal department's area of responsibility. Research these and other HR subjects in the Human Resources section.
