如果您在美国招聘员工，您需要确保及时了解联邦和州对薪酬和福利的所有要求。 从表面上看，美国对员工的薪酬和福利没有太多法律 - 但是如果你希望你的公司能够与其他雇主竞争，你仍然需要提供某些福利。
U.S. compensation laws
Many aspects of compensation are determined at the state level in the U.S. and, therefore, can vary, in some cases quite drastically, from state to state. However, some federal standards apply to the country as a whole. One of these standards is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which outlines requirements for minimum wages, overtime pay, equal pay, and record-keeping. 根据 FLSA，雇主必须遵守以下准则：
- All employees are entitled to a minimum wage of USD 7.25 per hour. In many states, counties, and cities, the minimum wage is higher than the federal rate.
- 除少数例外情况外，对于超过标准40-hour工作周的所有工作时数，员工必须获得其常规工资的 150%。
- Employers must keep a record of employees’ wage and working hours information, including their regular hourly rate and total wages per pay period, and some states require disclosure to employees on a regular basis.
Guaranteed benefits in the U.S.
Generally, in the U.S., employees are not guaranteed any benefits. 然而，大多数公司提供福利待遇作为与他们合作的激励措施。 美国的大多数福利待遇包括：
- Paid time off in the form of vacation and sick days.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
- Retirement benefit plans, such as a pension or 401(k).
Some companies provide additional benefits such as relocation assistance, parental leave, and childcare benefits. 竞争激烈的行业中的公司通常会提供更多的福利来吸引顶尖人才。
U.S. benefits management
The employer is responsible for disbursing any locally required benefits and upholding the terms set forth in the employment offer or contract.
福利和薪酬限制
U.S. compensation and benefits laws can vary from state to state. 美国有 50 个州，每个州在就业方面都有自己的一套规定和期望。 Before hiring in any state, companies should become familiar with local requirements and restrictions regarding benefits and compensation.
