🇺🇸 United States · Employment & Labor
Hiring rules, employment contracts, payroll, social insurance, and EOR options.
Federal labor standards are set by the Department of Labor (minimum wage and overtime under the FLSA), with the EEOC enforcing anti-discrimination law; employment is generally "at-will" and individual states add their own rules.
- The FLSA sets the federal minimum wage and overtime rules; many states set a higher minimum wage.
- Employment is generally at-will — either party may end it, subject to anti-discrimination and contract limits.
- There is no federal statutory paid annual leave; benefits are largely employer-set or state-mandated.
