ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

29 USC

Okay kiddo, let me explain 29 USC to you.

29 USC stands for the United States Code, Title 29. Now this code is like a big book of laws for things related to labor in the United States.

You know how there are rules that adults have to follow at work? Well, 29 USC has a lot of those rules written down so that everyone knows what they can and can't do when they're working.

For example, one of the rules written in 29 USC is that if you work over 40 hours in one week, you have to be paid extra money for those extra hours. This is called overtime pay.

Another thing that 29 USC talks about is worker safety. It says that employers have to make sure that their workers are safe while they're on the job. This means that they have to provide things like protective gear and training to keep workers safe.

So basically, 29 USC is a really important book of rules that helps protect workers and makes sure that everyone is treated fairly when they're working.
