WHAT ARE LABOR LAW POSTERS?

Labor law posters are workplace notices that inform employees about their rights under federal, state, and local employment laws related to wages, safety, discrimination and other important matters. These posters must be displayed prominently in areas accessible to all employees, such as breakrooms, lounges, employee entrances, and other common areas.

WHO IS REQUIRED TO POST LABOR LAW POSTERS?

Any nonprofit organization that employs workers is generally required to display certain labor law posters. This includes full-time, part-time, and temporary employees. While there are some variables, like number of employees, in most cases, the size of the organization does not matter.

WHAT POSTERS ARE TYPICALLY REQUIRED OF NONPROFITS?

The types of posters you are required to display will differ depending on your location and industry. In general, nonprofits will be required to post the six major federal labor law posters. In addition to federal posters, nonprofits must comply with state-specific labor law posting requirements. Use your location, industry, and number of employees to start identifying the federal & state labor law posters that apply to your nonprofit. If you operate in multiple states or locations, you may need to track different requirements. You can contact your local government agencies for more information.

OBTAIN THE CORRECT, UP-TO-DATE POSTER

Once you’ve identified the required posters, it’s time to get the copies. Make sure that you have the latest version of each poster. You can monitor each state & local labor agency website, or tune into changes from a reliable labor law poster company.
