Labor Law Updates

The demand for fair, competitive pay is ever-present for employers. And today, expanding wage transparency laws are giving job candidates and current employees a distinct advantage.

Depending on the states and cities in which your business operates, you may be legally required to disclose salary information under new wage transparency laws.

When it comes to labor law posting compliance, many employers mistakenly overlook foreign language requirements. Or they assume these requirements don’t impact their business because their entire workforce speaks English (or only a few employees speak another language, such as Spanish).

If you rely on your workers’ comp insurance provider for labor law posters, you could be making a costly mistake. They may offer certain notices for free to their clients, but they don’t address every labor law posting requirement. This incomplete approach increases your risk of government fines and costly lawsuits.

It's a misconception that could cost you: There’s no “one-stop-shop” to obtain every mandatory workplace posting for free. To meet the latest federal, state and local posting requirements, you need to look beyond workers’ comp insurance providers and government agencies.
