Definition:
An establishment is a single business location of a company which is engaged in a single activity. The Department of Labor specifies:
An establishment may also be a store, office or other physical entity that sells or produces goods or services that is physically distinct from any other facility operated by a business.
The term "establishment" is important in employment law and labor relations, because these laws apply to employees at establishments. For example, a store (establishment)owned by a company in one state may have different applicable labor laws than a store (establishment) owned by the same company in another state.
