Georgia has 3 mandatory poster update(s) in effect since September 2024: Employee Vacation, Unemployment Insurance, and Equal Pay for Equal Work Act. If your poster was purchased before September 2024, it needs to be replaced.
A mandatory update is a legislative change that makes the prior version of a notice non-compliant — employers must replace the poster. A non-mandatory update is a minor revision (e.g., an address or a governor's name change) where the prior version remains compliant. Georgia's most recent mandatory change was the addition of the Employee Vacation notice in September 2024.
All businesses with employees in Georgia are required by state & federal employment laws to post Labor Law Posters in a visible location.
