 |
What
types of businesses are required to post Labor Law posters? |
 |
The following
types of businesses do not need to post Labor Law posters
although it’s strongly recommended:
- Sole Proprietor without employees
- Businesses with only contract employees
and volunteers
Businesses with any number of employees, including just one,
are required by the law to post Federal, State and OSHA mandatory
posters. |

Where
should businesses display their Labor Law posters? |
|
Labor Law posters
should be displayed in a location where your employees visit
at least once a day, such as a break room. If your workplaces
are separate from one another, then each workplace should display
its own poster. |

What
Labor Law posters are required for my business? |
|
State and
Federal labor law posting requirements may vary by industry
and business. According to the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA), all U.S. businesses with at least one employee
must display the following six postings in each workplace
location: Federal Minimum Wage, Employee Polygraph Protection,
OSHA, FMLA, USERRA, and EEO.
Each state generates its own set of
specific employment regulations. We monitor more than 500
state and federal labor law sources to determine which labor
law changes are mandatory for employers. We itemize each state's
requirements to make it simple for businesses to comply. We
then notify businesses of labor law changes that may affect
them. |

Do
our posters need to be multilingual? |
|
In some
cases, you may need to have a bilingual poster. If your business
is located in the following states and 5 percent of your Spanish-speaking
employees use English as a Second Language (ESL), then you
are required to post labor law posters in English and Spanish:
AZ, CA, FL, GA, NM, NC, NY, TX.
If your business is not located in
these states, then you are not required by law to display
bilingual posters although it is highly recommended especially
if your employees do not read English. |

How
often do I need to update my Labor Law posters? |
|
You will need to update your
posters in order to stay compliant with the law whenever Federal,
State and OSHA agencies make labor law changes. State and federal
agencies may change their labor law regulations at any time –
and often do so without notifying individual businesses. In fact,
hundreds of labor law changes occur each year, on average. A good
percentage of those changes require employers to display new posters.
Contact
us for details about our update notification program, through which
we will notify you of labor law changes that may apply to your business
by email, mail, online bulletin, fax, or phone. |

What
happens if my business is not compliant with labor law posting
regulations? |
|
If businesses
do not have current State and Federal Labor Law posters displayed
in the appropriate locations within their facilities, they may
risk the chance of being cited/fined for non compliance, and
penalties, and damages from lawsuits. All of the posters and
documents are compliant with State and Federal regulations. |
