Employment law governs all aspects of the employer and employee relationship. It protects the worker's rights, it determines what an employer can legally do, and it helps to ensure a safe and conducive working environment.  For example, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects most employees in the United States from discrimination based on their race, color, religion, country of origin, or sex/gender. The law states that these personal traits shouldn't be considered when making work-related decisions about an employee, such as hiring, firing, the positions held, or pay. Employers are also prohibited from treating their employees poorly on any of these bases as well. Another law, the Fair Labor Standards Act, requires that qualifying employees receive at least a minimum wage and then overtime pay for working more than 40 hours in a workweek. These are but a few of the laws that govern the employee-employer relationship. Lawyers who practice in this area of the law are known as employment law attorneys. They advise and represent employees whose rights have been violated by their employers or treated unjustly and help them get compensation where possible. These lawyers can also represent or advise employers on best practices to try and avoid costly employment lawsuits or to defend employers who have been sued for violating employment laws.
