Connecticut-Specific Labor Law Posters

In addition to the federal labor law posters listed above, Connecticut employers are also required to post the following mandatory state labor law posters. They must be displayed in a conspicuous and accessible place. Businesses that fail to post these notifications may be subject to penalties or fines.

• *Connecticut Wage and Workplace Standards Division Administrative Regulations Poster: Connecticut Wage and Workplace Standards Division Administrative Regulations Poster: These regulations cover minimum wage, hours worked, recordkeeping requirements, and the employment of minors, among other things. The poster was updated in 2020 to reflect the minimum wage rate through 2023. The current minimum wage is $13.00; it will rise to $14.00 on July 1, 2022.
• Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission Poster: Employers should fill out the information required in this poster about their workers’ compensation insurance carrier. The poster directs employees on how and where to file a claim if they are injured or contract an illness during the course of employment.
• *Connecticut Discrimination Is Illegal Notice: This poster explains how employees can contact the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities (CHRO) if they believe their employer has discriminated against them. The poster sets forth the list of classes protected under Connecticut law, including age; ancestry; color; genetic information; learning disability; marital status; past or present history of mental disability; intellectual disability; national origin; physical disability; race; religious creed; sex; including pregnancy; sexual harassment; transgender status, gender identity or expression; sexual orientation or civil union status; workplace hazards to reproductive systems; criminal record (in-state employment and licensing); and veteran status.
• *Connecticut Sexual Harassment Is Illegal Poster: This poster defines sexual harassment and gives examples of inappropriate behavior in the workplace. It was recently revised to reflect the new timeline for filing claims of sexual harassment and provides contact information for the CHRO.
• *Connecticut Pregnancy Discrimination and Accommodation Notice Poster: This poster explains that any employer with at least three employees is covered by the pregnancy discrimination law. The law prohibits discrimination against employees and job applicants because of their pregnancy, childbirth, or other related conditions (e.g., breastfeeding or expressing milk at work). The poster also explains the complaint procedure and provides contact information for the CHRO and the Connecticut Department of Labor. The notice must be printed in English and Spanish regardless of the number of Spanish-speaking employees.
• *Connecticut Paid Sick Leave Poster: Employers with 50 or more employees must provide paid sick leave to employees. This poster describes how sick leave is paid out and explains that employees must be entitled to paid sick leave after working more than 680 hours.
• *Connecticut Health Insurance Poster: This poster offers contact information for the Office of the Healthcare Advocate (OHA), which helps Connecticut employees understand the choices they have for health insurance. The notice has been reformatted and contact information has been updated. Available in English and Spanish.
• Connecticut Electronic Monitoring Poster: Employers engaged in electronic monitoring of employees by any means, including telephones, cameras, computers, radios, wires, electromagnetic means, photoelectronic methods, or photo-optical means, must give employees prior notice. The poster lets employees know whether they are being monitored.
• Connecticut Domestic Violence: Employers with three or more employees are now required to post the Domestic Violence poster in a conspicuous location in the workplace. Contact information is included to file a complaint with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.

Additional posting requirements apply to businesses in certain industries, including retail and foodservice, and for businesses that employ minors.
