General Labor Law
In addition to complying with workplace laws pertaining to wages, workplace safety, discrimination, and health benefits, employers must also comply with laws and regulations pertaining to employment eligibility and unionization. This section includes information on general labor laws (such as the National Labor Relations Act and the Immigration Reform and Control Act) that have a broad application to the workplace and cannot be classified into a specific topic area on this CD-ROM.
I-9 Compliance Guide [PDF]: The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) requires employers and employees to complete a Form I-9 to document each individual’s eligibility to work in the United States. Additionally, the IRCA’s anti-discrimination provisions prohibit employers from discriminating on the basis of national origin or citizenship status.

National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) Compliance Guide [PDF] Updated 4/2012 - Under the NLRA, employees in virtually all private and public workplaces have the right to join a union, refuse to join a union, and voice complaints about wages or working conditions to management on behalf of two or more individuals without fear of reprisal. Additionally, the NLRA includes specific provisions pertaining to unionized workplaces. A new 2012 posting requirement for all private employers (union or non-union) is predicted to increase the number of complaints submitted to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
