As we leave the old year behind and look to the new, take a minute to check out your employment bulletin boards. Are the notices yellowing and curling with age? How current are they?
State and federal labor laws require certain employment notices to be posted in a place available to all your staff. Several states have changes to their labor laws, and a new federal poster, the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) poster, will be required by April 30, 2012.
Here’s a checklist* of the federal labor law posters that must be posted by all employers in the United States:
- The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA)
- Fair Labor Standards Act Minimum Wage (FLSA)
- Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
- Equal Opportunity is the Law dated 2009 or later
- Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)
- Employee Rights for Workers with Disabilities/Special Minimum Wage - if you have workers with disabilities
- Davis-Beacon and Related Acts – government construction
- Public Contracts Act and Service Contract Act - government contracts
- Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) – for agricultural businesses
- Notification of Employee Rights under Federal Labor Laws – federal contractors and subcontractors
- S.C. Labor Law Abstract
- Safety and Health Protection on the Job
- Workers’ Comp Works for You

*Some of these posters do not apply to all businesses. Be sure to check the Department of Labor’s website for your type of business. For full compliance, go to the source. This list is provided as a service only.
