Maryland-Specific Labor Law Posters
In addition to the federal labor law posters listed above, Maryland 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.
- *Maryland Minimum Wage and Overtime Law Poster: This poster details employees’ rights to be paid the minimum wage and overtime wages under Maryland law. The minimum wage is $15 an hour, effective January 1, 2024. The poster also explains special requirements for tipped employees and minor employees. Additionally, employers are required to pay employees 1.5 times their usual hourly rate for all work over 40 hours in a workweek; certain employers, including bowling establishments and institutions that provide on-premises care to the sick, aged, or disabled individuals (aside from hospitals), are entitled to overtime for all work over 48 hours in a week. Agricultural workers are entitled to overtime for all work over 60 hours per week.
- Maryland Notice to Tipped Employees: This is a new poster as of February 2022. The poster requires employers of tipped employees to post the notice in a conspicuous location where employees frequently visit, such as a break room. Tipped employees are employees that collect more than $30 a month in tips or gratuities. Publication date of 2/22.
- Maryland Equal Pay for Equal Work Poster: Maryland law prohibits paying employees who do comparable work in the same establishment at different rates because of their sex or gender identity; however, the law does allow different wages to be paid when jobs require different skills and different shifts, for example. Employers may also use a seniority or merit increase system that does not discriminate based on sex or gender identity. Additionally, employers also may not provide less favorable employment opportunities to employees because of their sex or gender identity, including assigning or directing employees into less favorable career tracks or positions, failing to share information about promotions or advancement, or depriving employees of employment opportunities.
- *Maryland Work Permit for Minors Poster: The Maryland Division of Labor and Industry requires all minors under the age of 18 to apply for a work permit. Work permits are not issued to minors under the age of 14. This poster details the hours’ limitations that apply to minor employees depending on their age.
- *Maryland Earned Sick and Safe Leave Poster: This poster explains that the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide paid sick and safe leave for certain employees; smaller employers also must provide unpaid sick and safe leave for certain employees. Employees earn sick and safe leave at the rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked but cannot earn more than 40 hours in a year or accrue more than 64 hours. Employees can use this leave to take care of themselves when they are sick or injured, to care for their ill or injured family members, to obtain preventative medical care for themselves or their family members, for maternity or paternity leave, or to deal with the aftermath of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking committed against the employee or a family member. Family members include spouses, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, and siblings.
- Maryland Health Insurance Coverage Poster: Maryland law gives employees and their family members the right to insurance coverage from their former employer if they quit or were terminated from their employment for reasons other than cause and were covered for at least three months before losing their employment. Employees must notify their employer of their request for continued coverage within 45 days of their last day of work.
- Employees’ Rights Under Maryland’s Unemployment Insurance Law Poster: Maryland law allows those who are laid off or otherwise unemployed through no fault of their own to file a claim for unemployment insurance benefits for up to 26 weeks.
- *Maryland Workers’ Compensation Law Poster: This poster explains how employees can file a claim for benefits for a work-related injury or illness.
- *Maryland Safety and Health Protection on the Job Poster: This poster explains that Maryland employers must provide a workplace free from health and safety hazards; employees are obligated to comply with Maryland occupational safety and health laws. The poster also explains how employees can file a complaint, and what the fines are for violating the law.
- *Maryland Employment Discrimination Is Unlawful Poster: Maryland law protects employees from unlawful discrimination based on their race, sex, age, ethnicity, ancestry or national origin, religion, physical or mental disability, color, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or genetic information. The law guards against discrimination in recruiting, interviewing, hiring, promoting, setting work conditions, and discharging an employee; employers are also prohibited from retaliating against employees.
- *Maryland Pregnant and Working Poster: Maryland employees who are pregnant or who have a disability that is caused by or contributed to by pregnancy can request a reasonable accommodation at work, including changing job duties, changing work hours, relocating, transferring to a different position, and more.
Note that employers in various industries and various cities may have additional labor law posting requirements.
