Labor Law Updates

Think that workplace posting updates occur only once a year? It’s a common misconception, but one that can create a dangerous gap in your posting compliance. Labor law posting requirements change frequently and randomly, which means you may need to address updates more than annually.

When it comes to labor law compliance, small businesses may fail to recognize the federal, state and local requirements. Posting compliance is a complex, ever-changing undertaking that requires awareness, attention and action.

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.
