Connecticut Labor Law Poster Update
All businesses within the State of Connecticut must display the new Domestic Violence Resources poster along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our Connecticut & Federal Labor Law Poster and does require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.
