About RemoteLaws
RemoteLaws.com is a neutral compiler of employment law, workplace regulation, and workplace-finance reference information. The site centralizes statutory and regulatory information from official government sources into plain-language reference pages, updated as underlying rules change. RemoteLaws does not provide legal advice, financial advice, tax advice, or individualized recommendations — it compiles what governments have already written.

Our Mission
RemoteLaws exists to make official employment law information findable, readable, and comparable across jurisdictions. Statutory text, regulatory bulletins, and agency guidance are often scattered across dozens of government portals, written in technical register, and structured for compliance officers rather than general readers. RemoteLaws consolidates that information into standardized reference pages organized by topic and jurisdiction, so a worker, employer, researcher, or journalist can locate the governing rule and trace it back to its official source.
The site is free to access, free of paywalls, and published without sponsored content in its editorial pages.
What RemoteLaws Covers
Coverage centers on U.S. federal and state workplace law, with expanding international coverage across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.
United States. RemoteLaws compiles federal statutes and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Social Security Administration, and related federal agencies. State-level coverage spans all 50 states and the District of Columbia across seven primary silos: employment law, minimum wage, overtime rules, paid leave, unemployment insurance, state income tax, and termination procedures. Additional U.S. topics covered include at-will employment, exempt versus non-exempt classification, FLSA compliance, FMLA eligibility, COBRA continuation coverage, health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, wrongful termination, workplace retaliation, the WARN Act, final paycheck rules, severance practices, pay transparency, and recent federal tax provisions including the Trump Accounts program, the No Tax on Overtime provision, and the No Tax on Tips provision.
International — currently published. Country-level employment law references are currently published for 17 jurisdictions across three regions:
- Europe (9): Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom
- Americas (4): Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico
- Asia-Pacific (4): Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand
International — planned coverage. RemoteLaws is expanding to a planned scope of 58 international jurisdictions, with new countries added on a rolling basis as research capacity allows. The planned scope is described in the Expansion Roadmap section below.
Expansion Roadmap
The following jurisdictions are planned for coverage. Pages are added on a rolling basis. Inclusion in the roadmap reflects editorial intent based on search demand, jurisdictional significance, and source availability; it does not constitute a commitment to a specific publication date.
Europe — planned (18 additional jurisdictions): Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland.
Americas — planned (6 additional jurisdictions): Argentina, Canada, Chile, Panama, Peru, Uruguay.
Asia-Pacific — planned (10 additional jurisdictions): Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Vietnam.
Middle East — planned (4 jurisdictions): Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates.
Africa — planned (limited scope): Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa. African coverage is scheduled for the final phase of expansion and is intentionally limited in topical depth, focused on the most widely searched workplace-law topics rather than the full silo coverage applied to U.S. and European jurisdictions.
The order in which planned jurisdictions are published is driven by search demand and source accessibility. Anglophone jurisdictions where the official government portal publishes in English are typically prioritized within each region.
The RemoteLaws Research Team
Content on RemoteLaws is produced and reviewed by The RemoteLaws Research Team — the editorial entity responsible for all reference pages on the site. The team operates under a single editorial standard: every factual claim must be traceable to an official government source, cited inline, and verifiable by the reader. Pages are not attributed to individual authors because RemoteLaws is a compiler, not a commentator; the authority of the information comes from the underlying government source, not from the person who organized it.
This approach mirrors the editorial model used by major reference publications that compile regulatory information at scale, where institutional standards, traceable sourcing, and a consistent voice matter more than individual bylines.
Our Publishing Principles
Neutral compilation. RemoteLaws reports what the law requires, not what readers should do. Pages describe statutory obligations, regulatory thresholds, eligibility criteria, and procedural requirements in the third person. The site does not use advisory phrasing such as “you should,” “we recommend,” or “consult an attorney” in its reference pages. When a situation calls for professional judgment, readers are directed back to the governing agency or to the official statute.
Traceable sourcing. Every substantive claim on a RemoteLaws page links to an official government source. For U.S. content, sources are drawn from .gov domains exclusively. For international content, sources are drawn from the equivalent official government portals of each jurisdiction. Secondary commentary, blog posts, and aggregator sites are not used as primary sources.
No legal or financial advice. RemoteLaws is not a law firm, not a tax advisor, and not a financial advisor. Reference pages state the rule as written by the governing authority. Readers with specific legal, tax, or financial questions are expected to consult the relevant government agency, a licensed professional, or the official statute directly.
Free access. Editorial pages on RemoteLaws are free to read, without registration requirements and without paywalls.
Updated as rules change. Pages are reviewed on a scheduled cadence and revised whenever underlying statutes, regulations, or agency guidance change. Material revisions are dated.
How RemoteLaws Differs from Other Sites
Most employment-law content on the open web falls into three categories: law-firm blogs written to attract clients, human-resources platforms written for employers, and aggregator sites that rewrite government content without traceable citations. Each of these serves a purpose, but none treats the underlying statute as the product.
RemoteLaws treats the statute as the product. Pages are structured so that the governing rule, the source citation, and the jurisdictional scope are visible above the fold; interpretation, commentary, and advisory framing are absent by design. This makes the site useful as a reference layer on top of government publishing — faster to read than the Federal Register, broader than any single state Department of Labor portal, and organized for comparison across jurisdictions in a way that no single government source provides.
