Communication is vital in the workplace \u2013 especially when it comes to work-related information such as labor laws. Employees need to be informed about the updates that affect them. As the employer, you\u2019re required to post updated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People often have questions about what information should be printed on labor posters. They also wonder what posters are needed, and how and when they should be updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about labor law posters. And also resources from the United States Department of Labor (DOL.GOV<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will my company receive a fine if I fail to post a labor law poster?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Posting requirements vary by statute and all businesses are not covered by the information on labor law posters. It\u2019s best to verify what information needs to go on your poster with your state, federal or province agencies. For example, in the United States, failure to post Job Safety and Health: It\u2019s the Law poster<\/a> (Occupational Safety and Health Act\/OSHA) will result in a citation and penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which posters do I post where \u201capplicants\u201d, as well as employees, can see them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Per the DOL, display federal workplace posters in conspicuous locations where they\u2019re visible to employees and others. The FMLA, EEO and EPPA posters are required to be placed where they can be seen by applicants for employment \u2013 in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
