The beginning of the year is a good time to ensure your HR compliance is in order. This includes making sure notices are posted appropriately, if required.

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor requires certain employers to post certain notices in the workplace. Posting requirements vary by law, and each employer has different notice obligations. The WHD website includes a list of federal WHD poster requirements, along with links to download the posters. The posters are also available through the WHD’s online publication ordering system.

The Department of Labor offers a FirstStep Poster Advisor, which is an interactive program to help employers determine which federal DOL posting requirements apply to them. After answering a series of questions, the Advisor identifies federal laws with poster requirements applicable to the employer’s business. The Advisor can be accessed by clicking here.

Employers can use results from the Advisor to identify their posting requirements and get copies of the posters from the DOL’s website. The posters available for download can be accessed by clicking here  and include:

Fair Labor Standards Act

Family and Medical Leave

Government Contracts

Agricultural Employment

Immigration
