Where Are You Required to Display Federal Labor Law Posters?
Posted on October 18, 2018 by

As an employer, it’s important to understand the finer details of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Even if this has never come to the forefront in the past, you never know if an employee will request leave in the future.
For example, you must be sure to post all labor law posters required by both federal and state law.
While obtaining the required posters is the first step, there’s something else to think about: the way you display these at your place of employment. In other words, it’s not good enough to simply purchase labor law posters. They must be displayed at your place of employment in the area required by the United States Department of Labor.
Here’s an excerpt from the United States Department of Labor website that provides a general overview of posting requirements:
“Generally, federal workplace posters must be displayed or posted in conspicuous places where they are easily visible to all employees — the intended audience. The FMLA, EEO, and EPPA posters are also required to be placed where they can be seen by applicants for employment.”
Below is a break down of 12 commonly displayed federal labor law posters, including details on location requirements:
| Poster | Where to Display |
| The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
| The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. If your company has multiple locations, display a poster in each space. |
| The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OHSA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
| The Employee Rights for Workers with Disabilities/Special Minimum Wage Poster | In your workplace so that all employees (and/or their parents or guardians) can read it as necessary. |
| The Davis-Bacon Act Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
| The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
| The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
| The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |

| The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) Poster | In your workplace so that all employees can read it as necessary. |
