If you own a small business, you may not be subject to federal employment and labor laws. However, North Carolina labor and employment law may still govern your business. In some cases, North Carolina labor laws may supersede federal law. For example, North Carolina employers must pay the state minimum wage if it is higher than the federal minimum wage.
All North Carolina businesses are required to display a copy of the North Carolina workplace laws poster. The poster specifies the current minimum wage, overtime requirements, and wage payment laws. It also gives employees information on how to report labor law violations. Your business can order a copy of the poster for free in both Spanish and English.
If your business hires minors, you should also be familiar with youth labor laws. Any worker under the age of 18 must obtain a youth employment certificate prior to working. Children under 14 may only act, model, or distribute newspapers unless they are working for their parents. Children under the age of 18 may not work in a hazardous job, such as a job that requires them to use power tools or operate heavy equipment.
