Georgia Labor Law Posting Requirements

Georgia employers must follow both federal and state labor law posting requirements. Below, we’ve summarized these requirements and offered a short explanation of the state-specific workplace posters.

Federal Posting Requirements for Georgia

Georgia employers are required to post the following federal labor law posters:

• Equal Employment Opportunity – EEO*
• Federal Minimum Wage Poster*
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster*
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Job Safety and Health Poster*
• Employee Polygraph Protection Act Poster*
• Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) Poster

Georgia-Specific Labor Law Posters

In addition to the federal labor law posters listed above, Georgia 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.

• *Georgia Equal Pay for Equal Work Act Poster: The purpose of this poster is to explain that Georgia law prohibits employers from paying different wages to employees because of their sex.
• *Georgia Unemployment Insurance Poster: This poster explains how employees can qualify for unemployment insurance and how they can file a claim with the Georgia Department of Labor.
• *Georgia Employee Vacation Poster: This poster explains that unemployment insurance is not payable when employees are on paid or unpaid vacation.
• *Georgia Workers’ Compensation Bill of Rights for the Injured Worker Poster: The poster explains that every employer with three or more employees must provide workers’ compensation insurance coverage. It also describes employees’ rights and responsibilities under Georgia’s workers’ compensation law.
• *Georgia Workers’ Compensation Official Notice: This poster describes what employees should do if they suffer an injury or illness in the workplace. The employer must also complete the contact information for its workers’ compensation insurance carrier.
• Georgia Workers’ Compensation Fraud Notice: This poster notifies employees that workers’ compensation fraud will be prosecuted and provides contact information for the workers’ compensation enforcement division.
• Georgia No Smoking Notice: The Georgia Smoke-free Air Act prohibits smoking in all enclosed areas within places of employment (with some exceptions). This poster explains that employees cannot smoke within the posted area, including an image of the international no-smoking sign. The poster must be posted at every entrance of every place of employment where smoking is prohibited. (This sign does not appear on our Georgia state poster. You can download it from our Free Specialty Labor Law Posters page.)

Employers in various industries may have additional labor law posting requirements. They may also have an obligation to post in multiple languages, depending on the composition of their workforce.

*Included on Spanish poster

NOTE: Spanish posters may not include all notices published on the English poster and may vary from our standard 18″w x 24″h size since some states do not issue all notices in Spanish.

Employment posters must be posted in a conspicuous location.
