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)

You may think that once you have your federal labor law posters in place on your wall, you’re completely covered for the long-term…

This is incorrect.

You are only in compliance until the next changes to the federal law posters take effect. Some of the notices on the federal posters have potential updates looming. The federal minimum wage poster and the EEOC poster have possible changes in the pipeline that could affect your federal compliance posters.

Q: Which federal posters must be displayed for job applicants?

A: It is a little known fact that certain notices from the federal labor law posters need to be accessible to job applicants. These 3 required notices have to be displayed wherever an interview takes place, even if you have the federal labor law posters elsewhere on the premises.   To simplify this task for you, we created the Applicant Edition of our federal poster. This poster is conveniently smaller (12″x18″) than the traditional federal labor law posters, and only consists of the 3 mandatory federal notices that you need for compliance in an interview space. You can check out our blog article about the Federal Applicant Poster for more information.
