POSTER REQUIREMENTS
Some federal and state laws require employers to post certain notices where employees can easily see them, such as on bulletin boards, near time clocks, or by main entrances. If you have more than one worksite, you must post the required notices at each location. All required posters are available free of charge from the government agencies listed in this Guide; you do not need to buy commercial poster products. FEDERAL POSTER REQUIREMENTS Federal poster requirements depend on which federal laws apply to your business. Not every employer is covered by every law, so not every employer needs every federal poster. For example, some small employers are not covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and therefore are not required to post the FMLA notice. To find out which posters you must display, you can use the U.S. DOL online FirstStep Poster Advisor and related eLaws tools. Fair Labor Standards and related laws The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) typically requires covered employers to post notices about: • Federal minimum wage, overtime, and child labor rules (Fair Labor Standards Act). • Employee rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), if applicable. • Employee rights under the Employee Polygraph Protection Act. Certain federal contractors must also provide additional notices to employees working on government contracts under laws such as the Walsh–Healey Public Contracts Act, the Davis– Bacon and Related Acts, and the McNamara–O’Hara Service Contract Act. Posters and more information are available from the DOL Wage and Hour Division – Workplace Posters . Equal employment opportunity Federal law also requires many employers to post information about: • Equal employment opportunity and nondiscrimination. • Age discrimination. • Rights of individuals with disabilities and certain federal contractor requirements.
These posters are available from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and are also linked on federal and state poster pages.
