How Employment Laws Impact Vermont & New Hampshire Workers
There are several rules and regulations in place to safeguard employees from unlawful conduct on behalf of their employers. Our knowledgeable lawyers stay up to date on the constantly evolving federal and state employment laws to better serve your needs.
Both federal and state employment laws have one goal: To regulate and enforce legal employee-employer relationships. We handle a wide range of cases dealing with employment-related matters:
- Wage & Hour: This deals with minimum wage, overtime pay, underpayment, family and medical benefits, and workplace conditions for working children and adults alike.
- Discrimination: This pertains to the unfair treatment of employees based on their age, gender, race, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation.
- Safety & Health: These regulations are designed to protect employees from injuries and illnesses stemming from the workplace.
- Benefits & Pensions: Benefits include retirement benefits, insurance plans, daycare and tuition reimbursement plans, sick leave and vacation. Pensions are intended to support employees who are no longer earning a regular income, such as when they retire.
- Workers’ Compensation: This element of the law handles benefits for employees who have suffered an injury or occupational disease while employed. Wage replacement, medical treatment, vocational rehabilitation, and other benefits are used to compensate affected employees.
State employment laws derive from federal employment laws and differ because they modify certain federal laws according to state standards. For example, the minimum wage varies across all states, therefore wage and hour regulations may also vary from state to state.
