Civil Rights Act of 1866 (Section 1981)
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)
Equal Pay Act (EPA)
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)
Health Information Privacy Act (HIPAA)
Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA)
National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)
Occupational Safety & Health Act (OSHA)
Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA)
Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA)
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)
Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Rights (USERRA)
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN)
