[Verse 1]
When you're hired to protect the workplace rights
You need to know the laws that shine their lights
Title Seven guards against discrimination's sting
Race, color, religion, sex, and origin it brings
Age over forty gets protection too
ADA opens doors for me and you
[Chorus]
Federal framework, know it well
Every HR story has a law to tell
Anti-discrimination, wages, leave and more
Safety, labor, privacy - that's what we're here for
Federal framework, memorize the key
Title Seven, FLSA, FMLA and ADA's guarantee
[Verse 2]
Fair Labor Standards sets the minimum floor
Overtime at forty hours, not one minute more
Exempt or non-exempt, you must classify
State and local laws can raise the bar up high
Davis-Bacon prevails when federal contracts call
Child labor rules protect the young from it all
[Chorus]
Federal framework, know it well
Every HR story has a law to tell
Anti-discrimination, wages, leave and more
Safety, labor, privacy - that's what we're here for
Federal framework, memorize the key
Title Seven, FLSA, FMLA and ADA's guarantee
[Bridge]
FMLA gives twelve weeks when family calls
Interactive process breaks down barriers and walls
OSHA keeps us safe with general duty care
NLRA protects the voice that workers share
Even non-union shops must respect Section Seven rights
I-Nine verification keeps immigration tight
[Verse 3]
Pregnancy and genetics get their own protection plan
Equal pay for equal work, woman or man
Executive eleven-two-four-six for contractors too
Military leave through USERRA, red white and blue
Records retention, confidentiality's the rule
Privacy and data laws are HR's vital tool
[Chorus]
Federal framework, know it well
Every HR story has a law to tell
Anti-discrimination, wages, leave and more
Safety, labor, privacy - that's what we're here for
Federal framework, memorize the key
Title Seven, FLSA, FMLA and ADA's guarantee
[Outro]
From hiring through retiring, laws will light the way
Federal employment framework guides us every day
