Labor Law Updates

You’re keeping current with all labor law postings impacting your business, so you’re fully compliant, right? Not necessarily. Beyond workplace postings, U.S. employers must also distribute notifications directly to employees under specific circumstances.

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.

If you operate across many jurisdictions, this flurry of separate minimum wage laws creates a unique compliance challenge. Yet it’s essential to keep up with them because when federal, state and local minimum wage laws differ, you’re legally required to pay the most generous rate to your hourly, nonexempt workers.

The emergence of new COVID-related laws during the pandemic has led to a concerning spike in employment violations and lawsuits. Take a closer look at the claims that are coming to the forefront, and learn what steps to take to avoid similar legal issues with your business.

A steady rise in state and local labor laws demand careful attention by employers. These laws cover a range of topics — from paid sick leave and natural hair discrimination to salary history and predictable scheduling. Know whether your state, county or city is affected, so you can adequately protect your workers and maintain compliance with the rules and any related posting requirements.
