The United States Department of Labor has published an employment guide on its website with information for employers on wages and benefits, occupational health and safety, and non-discriminatory hiring practices.

Employment standards are governed by a number of federal statutes, including the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. At the State level, as of 2017 there are 28 states which have right-to-work laws which require unionized workplaces to allow employees to work, whether or not they are members of a union.

Employee benefits fall under several federal laws as well, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act.
