Get All the Facts About Federal Labor Law Posters

It is no secret that maintaining labor law compliance can be an overwhelming task. While you may be aware of the importance of remaining compliant with local and state labor posters, keeping up-to-date on federal labor law posters is just as essential.

What is on the Federal Labor Law Posters?

Employers across the United States are responsible for posting the most up-to-date federal labor law posters, but following up on current and soon-to-be laws can be an absolute chore. You might be familiar with some federal labor law posters, such as the FMLA poster, but there are actually considerably more required notices. Listed below are the notices that are required on the federal labor law posters. All of these notices combined are often referred to as the 6-on-1 poster, or 6 federal notices on 1 labor law poster.

  • Federal minimum wage
  • OSHA
  • FMLA
  • USERRA
  • Employee Polygraph Protection
  • Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO)

Of course, you are only in compliance until the next changes to the federal law posters take effect.
