It’s a new year, which brings new goals, new plans and a chance to go over company policies and procedures to ensure continued success for the future. It is also a time when many new laws go into effect resulting in change. An area easily overlooked in businesses is posting requirements for labor law. Every state agency has its own requirements about who needs to display a notice and what needs to be displayed. 2020 started out with over half of the states requiring a new mandatory change. Now that the new year is underway, it is a good time to ensure you are compliant with federal and state posting notices.
The following chart gives you required (and some recommended) postings for each state and if noted, the effective date. Some states have additional postings that are specific to certain industries that are not included in this list. You can check your states required posting list to make sure your business is up to date and compliant. Start the new year off being in compliance with your states Labor Law postings.
