Labor Law Updates

Keeping current with labor law posting changes is not an easy task for employers. To show you just how extensive this undertaking can be, let’s consider a fictional pizza chain. We’ll look at the typical posting requirements impacting such a business and, most important, how a labor law posting subscription service can keep them current and compliant.

Complying with federal, state and local labor law postings is a fundamental responsibility for all U.S. employers. In addition to the six mandatory federal postings, you may need to display an additional 19 state-issued posters, depending on your state. Moreover, county and city regulations introduce yet another layer of complexity, often requiring additional postings.

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.

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.

It’s one thing to keep up with federal-level employment laws and related postings … it’s quite another when you drill down to the state, county and city level. While the federal requirements are limited to a handful of postings, mandatory postings in certain states can climb into the double digits.
