What is a Labor Law Poster
What is a Labor Law Poster

It is most likely that you have, at one point or another, glanced at a Labor Law poster; whether in your office break room, kitchen, or in various other areas which are accessible to employees.

These are poster generally three feet by two feet.

Have you ever read the actual content of these legal documents?

Have you ever speculated on the reason that every business is required to pos Labor Laws?

Below we discuss various important points about the requirements of Labor

Law postings:

1)

Let's begin by listing the reason businesses businesses are necessary for businesses.

OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) legally requires every

business in the United States, that has employees, to post employee rights in a conspicuous place.Every state is required to post Federal

employee regulations.Additionally, individual states have their own laws, which are known as state mandated law. These laws must also be posted conspicuously for employees to know be aware of their rights.

As a business owner or manager, you are exempt from the requirement to post employee regulations ONLY if:

A. You have no employees

B. You have only contract employees or volunteers

C. Your business is family owned.

2)

Below is a limited list of required Federal postings:

-Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law -Federal Minimum Wage as of: 2009--why not 2010? or just say "Most recent Federal Minimum Wage"

-Employment and Reemployment Rights Act

-Employee Polygraph Protection Act -Anti-Discrimination Notice.

3)

State requirements vary from state to state.

If your business

contains 10% or more Spanish (as their native language) speaking

employees and is located in the following states: AZ, CA,FL,GA, NM, NC,NY,TX, consequently, you are required to post employee regulations in

both English and Spanish languages. However, this rule does not apply

to any other languages.

4)

Did you know that The Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA)

prevents employers from using lie detector tests, either for

pre-employment screening or during employment with certain exemptions? Therefore, employers may not require or request any employee to take a

lie detector test, or discriminate against an employee, or even a job

applicant who refuses to take a test, or for exercising other rights

under the Act. Once again, every employer is required to display the EPPA poster in the workplace

for their employees.

5)

Another interesting fact: an employer is not allowed to discriminate a

person because of his/her age during hiring. (Equal Employment Opportunity Law)

The importance of conspicuousdisplayand employee accessibility to labor law posters cannot be stressed enough.

Knowing your employees' rights and doing your due diligence as an employer is a vital component of employer-employee relations.
