Labor Law Poster Requirements
Federal and State governments require
all businesses to post labor laws in conspicuous workplace areas or face
heavy penalties. Penalties for not having the required posters can
be up to $17,000. Improper postings also make it easier for
employees to file lawsuits against you.
The challenges that many companies face
in complying with the laws are:
- Knowing what the federal
and state posting requirements are
- How to get the required
posters from the state and federal agencies
- Keeping up to date with
mandatory poster changes
