    Employment Law governs the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees in the workplace. Also referred to as labor law, these rules are designed to keep workers safe and make sure they are treated fairly, as well as to protect employers’ interests. The common law rules of employment created by courts and practiced in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds were that of at will employees, who could be fired for no reason at all. Employment laws in present day society have evolved to represent both employer and employee and are now based on federal and state statutes and legislation as well as court decisions. The evolution of these laws can be traced back to the United States Constitution, which provides protection against discrimination by federal and state governments.
