Labor Law Updates

Are labor law posters required? It’s a question that comes up a lot with certain businesses, where they assume they’re exempt from the requirements. This Q &A article addresses a handful of possible scenarios, and whether or not workplace postings still apply.

Think that workplace posting updates occur only once a year? It’s a common misconception, but one that can create a dangerous gap in your posting compliance. Labor law posting requirements change frequently and randomly, which means you may need to address updates more than annually.

When it comes to labor law compliance, small businesses may fail to recognize the federal, state and local requirements. Posting compliance is a complex, ever-changing undertaking that requires awareness, attention and action.

If you rely on your workers’ comp insurance provider for labor law posters, you could be making a costly mistake. They may offer certain notices for free to their clients, but they don’t address every labor law posting requirement. This incomplete approach increases your risk of government fines and costly lawsuits.

It's a misconception that could cost you: There’s no “one-stop-shop” to obtain every mandatory workplace posting for free. To meet the latest federal, state and local posting requirements, you need to look beyond workers’ comp insurance providers and government agencies.
