01At-will employment, but wrongful-termination and state law exposure is real
02Benefits (health, 401k) are the competitive lever, not statutory minimums
03Worker classification (W-2 vs 1099) is heavily enforced, misclassification is costly
04Pay transparency & equal-pay laws now mandatory in many states
05State-by-state variation in wage, leave, and non-compete rules
