Failure to post can be an expensiveproposition.  On the federal level, if you fail to  display all of therequired labor law posters, you can be fined $17,000. States have differentrequirements and pose their own penalties. Beyond penalties, failure to postcan expose your company to other liabilities.

 
Employees have argued in court that they did not know their rights because the  companies failed to maintain labor law posters. This opens the door foremployees  to file lawsuits beyond the statute of limitations. Which means thatworkers  previously employed by the company three, four, or even five years agocould potentially sue the employer.

Let State and Federal Poster, Inc.handle all of your labor law poster needs and we will make sure your company isprotected from all of these unnecessary risks.

The Purpose Of Labor Law Posters
The purpose of the state and federal posters is to ensure that all employees  understandand have access to information regarding their employment rights. It is toensure that all workers know their labor law rights with regards to safety, payand discrimination.

There are a few different posters that are required to be posted withinemployee view. The different topics covered include: Family and Medical Leave,Employee Disabilities Rights, Minimum Wage, Fair Labor Standards Act, EqualEmployment Opportunity, Federal Contractors, Polygraph Protection, VeteranRights and Job Safety and Health. Each poster has its own information that mustbe in plain view of the employees.

Safety posters, for example, wouldlist laws regarding employee safety and what steps a company has to follow toensure that safety. It also lists what steps should be followed if there is aninjury or health risk. Equal Employment Opportunity posters list the laws thatrequire an employer does not discriminate in hiring practices. Minimum Wageposters give employees answers on how much the employer has to pay, andemployee disabilities rights posters list laws against discrimination based ondisabilities and laws for accommodating disabilities.

It should be noted that not all employers are required to show all posters.Some posters depend on the type of business that is being run. An example wouldbe the Family Medical Leave Act. Not all small businesses are required to postthis information due to the fact that not all small businesses fall under itslaw. Not posting the required posters is against the law. If noticed by a laborofficial, it could result in fines against the company.
