Wisconsin-Specific Posting Requirements

The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development administers a number of labor standards laws that vary considerably in their coverage and requirements.

Employers covered by these standards also may be subject to similar federal laws and regulations. In cases where the laws contain different requirements and the state regulations are more stringent, the department is required by law to enforce the state regulations. Federal laws do not preempt state regulations in these cases.

Not all workers are protected. How these various labor standards apply in specific cases depends on some or all of the following conditions:

• Type of industry
• Type of work performed
• How employed (contract, commission, etc.)
• Worker’s age

Questions about labor standards should be directed to the Department of Workforce Development Equal Rights Division.
