What are the major statutory aspects of Employee Health, Safety, and Welfare?
The major aspects of employee health, safety, and welfare, as they are embodied in our federal and state laws include
• The federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) and its many state-law counterparts
• Workers' compensation and unemployment insurance statutes, which are a part of virtually every state's statutory safety net for injured and out-of-work workers
• The U.S. Social Security system, which includes both pensions and support payments for permanently disabled workers who are still too young to retire
• The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which is intended to protect and preserve employee pensions
• The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and its numerous state and local counterparts, which increasingly require employers to grant paid leaves of absence for an ever-increasing range of personal issues
• Worker Adjustment and Retraining (WARN) Acts, both federal and state, which are aimed at letting employees know when a plant closing or mass layoff is in the offing
However, no national statute requires private employers to provide their employees with either health insurance or a pension plan.
