Labor Law Updates

As we count down the final months of 2016, we continue to keep a close eye on the laws and regulations most likely to impact your workplace labor law postings. The pace of change at the federal, state and local levels has been brisk, and we have every reason to believe it will be just as fast-paced the rest of this year and into next.

We talk a lot about federal and state labor law posting requirements at PosterGuard.com. But did you know your posting responsibilities drill down even further to city and county levels? That’s right! Now, if you have business locations in certain cities or counties, you must display additional employee postings

As we usher in a new year, it’s time to turn our attention to the HR and employment law issues emerging for 2016. Last year was especially robust for legal developments that made a direct impact on employers, and 2016 is expected to be just as active. This pace of changes, coupled with many government agencies setting aggressive enforcement agendas, means every employer needs to be aware and ready.

If 2016 is anything like the past year, we can expect a steady pace of labor law posting changes – most certainly on the state level and, based on ongoing developments, on the federal level, too.

2015 was an action-packed year for labor law posting changes – largely due to a sweep of state-level legal developments. Specifically, there were 64 mandatory labor law changes across 37 states.
