With the steady development of labor laws throughout the U.S., at the federal, state and local levels, nearly every facet of businesses' interactions with employees now fall under some regulation. Effective human resources must take into account all the various labor laws and understand how they interact with a given business within a specific industry. Even child labor laws bend in certain places to allow high school students access to after-school employment.
