Employee Relations Specialist job description
109 verified openings in Employee Relations & Compliance
BLS files employee relations under labor relations specialists, an occupation of 66,300 jobs in 2025 with 72 percent of them inside labor unions, which is why the same title looks very different at a manufacturer and at a union. The work is what happens after someone is hired and something goes wrong: investigations, grievances, discipline, accommodation requests, policy interpretation, contract negotiation and administration, and the documentation that has to hold up if a complaint becomes a claim. Median pay stood at $95,420 a year in May 2025, $45.87 an hour, ranging from $50,490 to $156,180, and a bachelor's degree opens the door.

Employee relations and compliance jobs are shown in the feed above and verified live, so investigation, policy, and labor roles arrive in one feed, and generalists move into this work more often than they planned to. Employers should be exact: how many investigations a year, whether the workforce is represented, which jurisdictions the policies cover, and who signs off a termination. BLS expects only about 4,800 openings a year here, so the ad that answers those questions gets the shortlist.
