Employment Federal Law refers to the body of laws created by the U.S. federal government that governs the relationship between employers and employees across all 50 states. These laws are enforced primarily by federal agencies like the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). 

 State Employment Laws are regulations enacted by each individual U.S. state that govern the employer–employee relationship in addition to federal laws.
While federal laws set the minimum standard, state laws often expand or strengthen employee rights (e.g., higher minimum wages, additional leave benefits, or stricter anti-discrimination protections). 

Employment and immigration laws intersect to regulate how U.S. employers hire, verify, and manage workers—both citizens and non-citizens. The goal is to ensure equal opportunity, prevent unlawful discrimination, and maintain compliance with federal and state regulations governing authorization to work. 

As an employer, you may need to hire foreign labor when a U.S. citizen is not available. First, you will need to consider whether you intend to employ the individual permanently or temporarily. Offering an alien a permanent position could provide the basis for that individual to become a permanent resident, a process which will require that the individual file an additional application and satisfy separate requirements.
