US Employment Law - Federal Baseline · 1.1

US employment compliance is the obligation set that usually lands on HR and gets run out of a spreadsheet: wage and hour, leave, classification, anti-discrimination, safety, benefits, and the notices you have to post. Keel tracks the federal baseline that applies nationwide, then layers on the state-by-state deltas for the places you actually employ people.

Scope

How much of the standard Keel models

Keel-defined scope

This is a Keel-defined composite rather than a published standard, so there is no external leaf count it could be complete or incomplete against. Keel sets the scope, and the requirement count below is Keel’s own baseline.

Authored in Keel: 25+ requirements
Defined by the standard: Not applicable: no external standard

Keel publishes this for every framework it ships, complete or not, so a readiness percentage can be read against a denominator you can see. Compare every framework

Who it is for

Who needs US Employment Law - Federal Baseline?

People and HR leaders who own employment compliance without a dedicated legal team

Owners, status, and evidence on each requirement, in the same system as your other frameworks

US Employment Law - Federal Baseline shares canonical controls with ESG Essentials, FedRAMP Rev5 Class B and FedRAMP Rev5 Class C and others in the catalog. Implement one of those controls and it counts toward every framework it satisfies, so adding US Employment Law - Federal Baseline rarely means starting from scratch.

A framework is lit when at least one canonical control satisfies both US Employment Law - Federal Baseline and that framework. Unlit means none of them do, which is an absence rather than a judgment about that standard.
