Labor Law Updates

As of September 30, 2025, the penalty for failing to post the EEOC 'Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal' posting will increase to $698. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the increase today in the Federal Register.

Workplaces today are more diverse than ever, and labor law postings are designed to keep all employees informed of their rights. That’s why employers can’t assume English-only posters are enough. In fact, nearly half of all states require certain labor law postings in English and Spanish — regardless of whether every employee on staff speaks English.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently stated that the Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal poster will be revised due to several executive orders issued by the president. While the official release date has not yet been announced, employers should prepare to replace existing posters once the updated poster becomes available.

Awareness and education are key components in the fight against human trafficking. In recent years, many states, along with a handful of smaller jurisdictions and the federal government, have taken steps to increase awareness by requiring the display of human trafficking posters in certain businesses.

Employers across the country are facing a new wave of rules that could reshape how they schedule and manage hourly workers. Fair workweek regulations — also known as predictive scheduling laws — are no longer just a buzzword in HR circles.
