State employment laws are proliferating at an increasing rate due to the number of issues that are being confronted in the workplace. Each state has its own legislation to contend with employee concerns and employment practices that become popular with employers. Some states’ employment laws follow federal laws, some follow the lead of other states, and still others pass laws with cutting-edge language to tackle emerging issues.
The result is a complicated patchwork of laws for employers with employees working in different states and, sometimes, different counties or municipalities. The most common of the differing laws are the minimum wage laws. More than 20 states increased minimum wages in 2023.
The ability to check on state-specific laws is crucial for employers and must be done periodically to protect against fines for violations. Fortunately, Employers Council members can access multi-state employment law information on our website. This article explains how to access our multi-state law chart builder.
