Labor Law Updates

Many employers mistakenly believe that they are not required to display foreign labor law postings simply because they only have English-speaking employees on staff. It’s a common misconception. But the truth is that nearly half of all states require businesses to display certain labor law postings in both English and Spanish regardless of workforce demographics.

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 this time of heightened government enforcement and growing employment lawsuits, anything short of total labor law compliance is risky.

With an eye toward a brighter future, many employers are eager to fill gaps in their staffing and bring on new talent. But the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll on the employment landscape.

The workers’ compensation system was established to provide benefits to employees who suffer a work-related injury or illness. But many employers are surprised to learn that workers’ comp coverage doesn’t just apply to on-site workers. Remote workers are also typically covered under the laws.
