Iowa Labor Law Poster Update
All businesses within the State of Iowa must display the new Job Safety and Health notice along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our Iowa & 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.
