💠 Types of Labor Laws
#Freelance

🔹 Labor laws have evolved a lot over the years, and whether it’s laws protecting the individual worker, or collective laws that protect a whole workforce, labor laws are one area that any business needs to be on top of. Let’s look at the two main kinds of labor laws, individual and collective.

🔺 Individual labor laws

For individuals, labor laws include any legal issues that relate to the individual worker and their employer. Individual labor laws include: 

🔺 Terms of employment: When you start working with an employee, a consultant or a contractor, you need to have certain laws in mind.

🔺 Discrimination laws: As well as domestic labor laws around discrimination, the International Labor Organization lays out standards for equality of opportunity and anti-discrimination.

🔺 Benefits: These vary widely from one country to another, for example in the US, health insurance is mandatory for businesses with over 50 full-time employees or equivalent, while in the UK, as there is a National Health Service, health insurance is not a common benefit, let alone a mandated one. Benefits such as pension contributions, sick days, parental leave and more all need to be checked closely depending on where your workers reside.

🔺 Minimum wage: Minimum wage is another area which is different depending on the location.

🔺 Collective labor laws 

🔺 Labor laws can protect groups of workers by enabling collective bargaining, which individuals may not achieve alone. In the U.S., the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) grants workers the right to form unions and negotiate for better wages, working hours, and improved health and safety conditions without facing discrimination. Unions operate independently of employers and are often tailored to specific professions, such as nurses and doctors, with various local, national, and regional unions existing across different countries.
