Do I Need a Labor Law Poster?
If you’re responsible for managing your company’s labor law posters you’ve probably asked yourself, “do I need labor law posters”, and the answer is “most likely, yes”. If you are an employer with at least one paid employee in their place of business must post federal, state, and local (where applicable) labor law posters.

How To Determine if You Need Labor Law Posters
Do you have any employees on Payroll?
NO. If the answer is “no” then you do not need to post labor posters. The rest of this article will not affect you whatsoever; please feel free to discontinue your labor poster research until you have employees on Payroll.
YES. If you answered “yes”, are any of your employees on the payroll, not your spouse? If you have any employees on the payroll who are not your spouse, you are required to post the most updated version of the labor posters. The only exception to the employees on payroll stipulation is if you’re married to said employee. All other relatives still require access to compliance posters.
Now that we’ve answered this question in the most simplified way possible, let’s explore some other questions that might bring new exceptions to light…
1. What if I’m a federal contractor or sub-contractor? Do I still need compliance posters?
YES. If you have at least one paid employee labor law posters are required to post.
NOTE: Every company with contracts with a federal government entity, regardless of its location, must post labor law posters related to serving as a federal contractor in addition to certain federal labor law posters. Stay up to date with federal & state posting requirements with a 1-Year Compliance Plan and a Federal Contractor Poster.
2. What if I have Remote or Hybrid employees’ that work from home? Do I really need to tell them to post the labor law posters in their home?
Employers are required to provide access to labor law posters (notices) to all employees listed on payroll, this includes Remote and Hybrid employees. Check out our available Digital Products to Supplement Your Printed Posters. Perfect for Remote & Hybrid Employees!
