What Must Be in a Labor Agreement to Protect Worker Rights?
A labor agreement is a written contract between an employer and one or more workers that sets out wages, hours, benefits, working conditions, and dispute resolution procedures. The enforceability of a labor agreement depends on whether it complies with federal and state wage laws, contains clear terms that both parties understood, and does not waive statutory protections workers cannot legally forfeit. An agreement that purports to waive a worker's right to overtime pay, minimum wage, meal breaks, or rest periods is void as against public policy, even if both parties signed it. Workers cannot legally agree to work for less than the minimum wage or to forfeit statutory protections.
