You might be surprised to learn that there are virtually no U.S. labor laws (also called employment laws) that specifically mandate how your employer must treat you as a human being. After all, we live in a democracy in which government regulation is discouraged, employment is at will, and even jerky bosses are entitled to their rights and freedoms.
Beyond overtime and equal pay rules, and a mere pittance in minimum wage, there is no labor law that dictates how much your employer must pay you either. Additionally, most benefits are not mandated by labor laws, including severance, sick-leave and vacation pay. Your employer can even spy on you without your knowledge, make you drop your drawers for drug testing just because, unfairly terminate your employment, and more. So, what you might personally consider a “raw deal” on the job may not be illegal for your employer, regardless of how much it breaches your sense of fair play.

Part 3 governs the actions of the bank that is responsible for the payment of the check (payor bank). Part 4 governs the relationship between a payor bank and its customers. Part 5 governs documentary drafts. These are checks or other types of drafts that will only be honored if certain papers are first presented to the payor of the draft. If a check passes through the federal reserve system (as the majority of checks do) Regulation J of the Federal Reserve comes into effect. Regulation CC governs extensively the availability of funds in a depositor’s account and the process involving checks dishonored due to non-payment.
