Alphabetical encyclopedia of labor law, health and OSHA-inspired safety terms with practical explanations and applications for the workplace--search here for concise and convenient answers to laws, concepts and regulations you may otherwise not understand. (In those cases where the institutions, laws and regulations have common acronyms--like COBRA and DOL--the listings use the acronyms for titles.)

The Laborpedia will be an ongoing project. Some entries and explanations may start off small and end up being expanded over time.

We also encourage reader and labor law/OSHA community involvement. If you have terms you would like explained, please e-mail us. If you would like to contribute a term and explanation of your own, please submit your article for consideration. Let's work together to make this the most complete of all labor law encyclopedia.
