雇佣关系是大多数人生活中最重要的法律关系之一。雇佣关系不仅是为大多数人及其家庭提供支持的主要来源，而且还是社会关系，个人身份和个人成就感的重要来源。雇佣关系提出了一些特别有趣的法律问题，因为它既包括雇主和雇员之间在共同成功中的集体利益，又包括雇主和雇员中的个人利益，以互惠互利为代价。劳动和就业法研究分为三个一般主题领域：就业法，劳动法和就业歧视法。
The employment relationship is one of the most important legal relationships in most people's lives. Employment relationships serve not only as the primary source of support for most people and their families, but also as an important source of social relationships, personal identity, and personal fulfillment. The employment relationship poses some particularly interesting legal questions because it comprises both a collective interest between employers and employees in mutual success and individual interests in employers and employees benefiting at the expense of the other. The study of labor and employment law is divided into three general subject areas: employment law, labor law, and employment discrimination law.
