Q & A About E-Verify Posters
February 22nd, 2012Q: What is the E-Verify poster? Is it included on your state labor law posters?
A: Many states have passed laws that require employers to register with the federal E-Verify program, which is used to determine if workers are eligible for employment. If your state has an E-Verify law, covered employers must register for E-Verify through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and must post the required E-Verify posters.
- Only employers who have registered for E-Verify should post the required posters which can be downloaded during the registration process as proof of their participation in the program.
- Only the DHS can provide these required E-Verify posters to employers.
For these reasons E-Verify posters are not included on our state labor law posters. For further information about E-Verify, or to register for the program and download the required posters, go to the DHS E-Verify home page at http://www.dhs.gov/e-verify or call 888-464-4218.
Oh, OneSystem, How Do I Love Thee
February 15th, 2012Valentine’s Day has come and gone but you still have the opportunity to fall in LOVE with the OneSystem 1-Year Compliance Plan. We’re sure we’ll win your heart with our sweet deal of $19.95 off the OneSystem all month long. By next Valentine’s Day, you’ll be writing your own sonnet about painless compliance!
Oh, OneSystem, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee all day and month and year
That I don’t worry about compliance.
For the end of constant mandatory labor law revisions and hassles,
I love thee to the level of every workday’s
most mundane task under recessed and fluorescent lighting.
I love thee as freely as my fellow workers strive for Casual Friday;
I love thee purely, more so after the 2nd postponement of the NLRA
I love thee with the same passion I show
In renewing every year, and avoiding pesky poster solicitations.
I love thee, OneSystem, with a renewed love
After I saved $19.95 this month — I love thee with all the OSHA updates,
Minimum wage increases, Workers Comp revisions, of all my days of work! — and, especially
I shall love thee more every year with your gift of priceless peace of mind!
(With thanks and apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
You + OneSystem = L♥VE

Hawaii Updates OSHA Poster; Third Required Change on HI Labor Law Poster
February 9th, 2012The latest required change to the Hawaii labor law poster is on the Hawaii Occupational Safety and Health (HIOSH) poster.
This is the third recent change to the HI labor law poster. Other recent changes announced previously include Employment Discrimination and Plant Closings. We are publishing an updated Hawaii poster with all three of these changes.
Changes to the Hawaii OSHA poster were caused by a new law that increased all penalties for violating the HIOSH law by 10 percent. This includes an increase in the maximum penalty from $70,000 to $77,000 per item, as well as increases for three other types of HIOSH penalties.
