labor codes
Employment law compilations
Labor codes are the body of laws and regulations governing employment relationships—wages, working hours, safety standards, collective bargaining rights, and conditions of termination.
Most countries consolidate these rules into a unified labor code, though the United States scatters them across federal and state statutes: The company was fined for violating state labor codes.
Human resources departments and union representatives spend considerable time ensuring compliance with labor codes.
