Labor Law Updates

For PEOs, compliance isn’t a sideline responsibility — it’s central to client trust and retention. With labor laws changing constantly, clients spanning multiple jurisdictions and hybrid work creating new layers of complexity, even the most capable teams face mounting pressure to stay ahead.

The pace of labor law posting changes isn’t slowing down. In fact, the next 15 months promise a wave of updates that will impact workplaces nationwide. From a closely watched EEOC revision to sweeping paid family and medical leave programs and rising minimum wages, employers should be prepared for a busy compliance season.

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.
