Labor Law Updates

With all the labor law issues you must navigate as an employer, you may wonder if workplace poster compliance is that big a deal. Who’s even checking if you’re displaying these postings?

Whether you have two employees, 200 or 200,000, one federal requirement is perfectly clear: You must — absolutely must — display labor law posters in the workplace.  Failure to comply could lead to costly fines, which could severely impact the ongoing viability of smaller businesses.

As a conscientious employer, you’re already aware of the federal, state and local labor law postings you must display to maintain compliance. But if your company does business with the federal government, did you know you’re responsible for federal contractor poster requirements that go beyond these core postings?

In early 2020, partially or fully remote workplaces were the exception. But today, due to the unique dynamics surrounding COVID-19 and employee safety concerns, this working arrangement is commonplace. This widespread shift presents a host of compliance challenges, including how to manage posting requirements for hybrid workplaces.

While it’s true that minimum wage laws typically change only once a year, many other posting changes can occur from month to month. And if you miss any of them — or mistakenly think you’ll cover your bases with a first-of-the-year refresh — you could fall out of compliance. Learn what it takes to ensure complete posting coverage from Day 1 to Day 365.
