Official Employment Law Sources

Use the source connected to the issue. An agency page is a starting point; coverage, jurisdiction, deadlines, and remedies still need to be confirmed for the facts.

The EEOC publishes information about covered discrimination, retaliation, charge filing, filing periods, disability accommodation, pregnancy accommodation, mediation, and notices.

Wages and leave

The U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division covers federal minimum wage, overtime, FMLA, and related worker resources. State labor offices may provide separate rights or processes.

Organizing and military service

The NLRB addresses many private-sector organizing and concerted-activity rights. DOL VETS administers USERRA assistance and complaint investigation.

State and local sources

Use the USA.gov state directory to reach official state government sites, then locate the state labor, civil-rights, safety, unemployment, court, or bar resource that fits the issue. City or county protections may also apply.
