Labor Law Updates

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.

In early 2020, partially or fully remote workplaces were the exception.

This widespread shift presents a host of compliance challenges, including how to manage posting requirements for hybrid workplaces.

Learn what it takes to ensure complete posting coverage from Day 1 to Day 365. 

If you’re considering DIY poster compliance to meet your labor law posting requirements, you may want to take a step back. When you weigh all the factors with a self-directed method, you’ll quickly realize that “free” government-issued posters will cost you in numerous other ways. For the most comprehensive and cost-effective approach to posting compliance, you’ll need the breadth and depth of coverage available with a reputable service provider.
