Federal Labor Law Posters
The law requires employers to display information describing federal laws that prohibit discrimination at work based on color, race, origin, religion, sex, age, disability, equal pay, or genetic information. This post should be positioned conspicuously where all employees can see it.
Labor law posters are mandated notices that employers with at least one employee must conspicuously post where employees frequent. Failure to display correct notices can result in penalties, fines, and lawsuits.
You need both federal and state posters for each state where you have employees. Required posters are provided for free. Considerations determining required federal posters include your industry, locations, remote employees, and if you have applicants.
Posters generally need display in break rooms, near time clocks, or bulletin boards. For remote employees, send posters electronically or post on an intranet. If multiple locations, display at each site.
Poster Display Requirements
Where should the required posters be displayed? Generally, federal workplace posters must be displayed or posted in conspicuous places where they are easily visible to all employees — the intended audience. The FMLA, EEO, and EPPA posters are also required to be placed where they can be seen by applicants for employment.
These posters need to be consistently updated according to the changes in the requirements. Therefore, it is important to make sure these posters are displayed in a place where they are highly visible and ensure that they are up-to-date.
The federal government has a roster of posters and labor law poster requirements for businesses of various sizes and types. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)’s FirstStep Poster Advisor can help you determine which posters you need when ordering.
