Labor Law Updates

If you rely on your workers’ comp insurance provider for labor law posters, you could be setting your organization up for a costly mistake. Many carriers offer a few basic notices at no cost, but they don’t cover the full range of federal, state and local requirements. That gap exposes businesses to significant poster compliance risks and fines — including government penalties and increased legal liability.

Remote work isn’t going away. Even as some teams return onsite, hybrid arrangements have become a permanent part of the workplace. This shift brings new compliance responsibilities, particularly around ensuring consistent access to labor law postings for all employees, regardless of location.

As of September 30, 2025, the penalty for failing to post the EEOC 'Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal' posting will increase to $698. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the increase today in the Federal Register.

Awareness and education are key components in the fight against human trafficking. In recent years, many states, along with a handful of smaller jurisdictions and the federal government, have taken steps to increase awareness by requiring the display of human trafficking posters in certain businesses.

Labor law compliance is more complicated than many small businesses realize — especially when it comes to workplace posting requirements. While some employers may be unaware of all the federal, state and local rules, others assume that hanging a few posters in the breakroom once a year is enough.
