Labor Law Poster Updates in 2019

 

We’re halfway through 2019, and there have been plenty of labor law updates this year! We’ve compiled a list of all the changes that have come into effect so far. Be sure to take a look below and make sure your posters are still in compliance.

 

Keeping your labor law posters in compliance is important for two reasons:

    1. It’s the law.  An employer who chooses to not post or update mandatory labor law notices is breaking the law. Violators can be fined for noncompliance or may even face a lawsuit brought on by a disgruntled employee.
    2. It shows integrity.  Your employees will see that you value them and recognize their rights in the workplace.  

 

If your posters are not up to date, visit our federal, state, and city/county pages to shop the latest mandatory labor law posters, or check out our 1-Year Compliance and City/County 1-Year plans to keep your business in compliance for a full 12 months.

 

Minimum Wage

There were 20 confirmed updates to state minimum wage laws effective on, or by, January 1, 2019 (New York’s minimum wage increase was effective December 31, 2018). There were 20 county and city minimum wage updates effective January 1, 2019. Since then, there have been 25 confirmed updates to state and city/county minimum wage laws. Additionally, several cities are increasing their minimum wage to $15.00 per hour or more in 2019. Many of these new minimum wage rates are part of stepped increases over several years, a trend we expect to continue in the future.

 

Other Labor Law Poster Updates

We’re always watching for the next wave of minimum wage increases, but we also monitor other potential labor law poster updates. Below are just some examples of possible changes.

  • Earned/Paid Sick Leave
  • Safety & Health (OSH)
  • Workers’ Compensation
  • Discrimination
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Unemployment Insurance

 

These changes can happen at any time, and it’s easy to fall out of compliance. That’s why we offer the 1-Year Compliance plan. We will keep you in compliance by sending you updated posters whenever there is a mandatory change to your labor law posters, all at no extra cost.
