The California Labor Code, more formally known as "the Labor Code",^[1] is a collection of civil law statutes for the State of California. The code is made up of statutes which govern the general obligations and rights of persons within the jurisdiction of the State of California. The stated goal of the Department of Industrial Relations is to promote and develop the welfare of the wage earners of California, to improve their working conditions and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment."^[2]

Although the Labor Code is dedicated to labor laws, other codifications such as the Family Code, the Insurance Code and the Government Code also contain labor laws; parallelism exists between provisions of the Labor Code and provisions of the Government Code.^[3] The Labor Code is in English. The Division of Labor Standards Enforcement maintains English and Spanish pre-recorded information phone lines that covered frequently asked topics.
