Is your Biz Labor Law Compliant?


It is required by state and federal law for all businesses to have their Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), State and Federal Labor Law posters displayed in their workplace. The posters, provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, contain easy to read “compliance assistance” information that helps business owners stay compliant with federal employment laws. In addition, business owners need to have a state employment laws poster that they must be compliant with. 

The information on Labor Law posters protects the wages, health benefits, retirement security, employment rights, safety and health of America’s workforce. By posting this information, business owners are giving their employees a constant reinforcement of what is expected of everyone – employees and management. Keeping employees in compliance saves business owners from paying penalty fees, supervisors will be reminded of their duty to uphold the law, and protect workers from injury, discrimination and other important requirements. 

These posters should be displayed in a place visible to all employees, such as: the lunchroom, bathroom, break room, near the time clock, back of a door, etc. Multiple posters are required at businesses with multiple locations or separate floors. 

Not having the required Labor Law posters displayed can subject a business to a number of penalties from OSHA and the Department of Labor.
