Employment Law or Labor Law concerns the legal relationship between employers and employees. Statutes regarding labor law are found at all levels of government, from federal to state, to city and county. Labor law determines the rights and obligations which arise out of an employment contract. The law governing the relationship between an employee and an employer begins when an offer for employment is made by an employer to an employee. Labor law regulates the entire relationship between employer and employee - the initial hiring process, job duties, wages, promotions, benefits, employment reviews and termination of the employment relationship. It also includes litigation on the basis of unfair labor practices and discrimination. According to the United States Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics job bias lawsuits filed in U.S. District Courts soared from 6,936 in 1990 to 21,540 in 1998.
