The difference between employment law & labor law

Labor laws regulate the relationship between employers and labor unions, such as the AFL-CIO. Labor laws cover topics like the right to unionize and the negotiation and enforcement of collective bargaining agreements.

Employment laws regulate the relationship between an employer and individual employees and deal with issues like employment discrimination, harassment and complaints about compensation for work that was delivered.

Regardless of which laws apply to your situation, a small business plan from Legal Shield includes unlimited phone consultation with an experienced employment litigator to help you understand your rights, determine next steps and protect your business.

Diffuse employment disputes before they turn into lawsuits

Disputes with employees can be stressful and difficult for small businesses to deal with on their own. An experienced lawyer can help you navigate your way to a positive resolution as they understand the intricacies of common employee complaints.

  • Sexual harassment claims
  • Issues with wages and overtime
  • Poor performance or behavior
  • Workplace safety problems
  • Breach of employment contract
  • Paid leave and time off disagreements

I recently contacted our LegalShield provider firm regarding a real estate question that couldn't be answered by our local real estate agent. The attorney was prompt and detailed in responding.

My wife and I were getting bullied by a plumbing contractor that charged us $6,800 to fix a leak at our home, but the leak still remained... LegalShield stepped in and saved the day. The lien got released and all issues were made right.
