More details to this question:
I work remotely for a client in Canada whose company is headquartered in the Caymans. I began working for this client a year and a half ago but he has failed to deliver a contract as promised. I make a weekly, salaried amount but have no guarantee that it will continue. My client acts and talks as if I am an employee, complete with forcing long hours, but I have no paper that says I work for him. Whose employment laws apply here? US, Canada or the Caymans?

Generally, the laws which apply to your employment will be the laws which apply in the place you are working, and not in some other place.
