Keep up with Poster Compliance

08/20/08

Under federal law, employers are required to post specific labor law information. Exact requirements vary by state and by industry, but common requirements include federally mandated posters containing information on equal employment opportunity, Fair Labor Standards Act/ Federal Minimum Wage, OSHA, Employee Polygraph Notice, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Further, if your business has any branch offices or separate locations, you must display a complete set of postings at each of those separate locations.

Penalties for noncompliance are steep: Fines can run in excess of $17,000 for failure to post federally required information, not to mention the threat and inconvenience of intrusive investigations.

You must post these required notifications in high-traffic areas where all employees and job applicants will be able to see them. It’s often not enough just to post them in the lobby or lunchroom. You may need to include breakrooms, meeting rooms, and warehouses. G.Neil’s Federal Easy-Post™ will be a good start, but there are many other posting requirements depending on your state and industry. Our Poster Tracker Tool will help you identify your state posting requirements in just one click.
