Employers Are Required to Post These
Notices
.png)
To maintain legal compliance, employers must advise employees of many of
their rights—and several of these notices must be made in the form of a
publicly visible posting or notice.
The list of required notices is long, and it depends on who the employer
is. For example, public employers have different requirements than private
employers. Large businesses have more requirements than small businesses. In
short, there is no one-size-fits-all answer for what’s necessary, so this list
is comprised of the notices that the majority of employers will be required to
post. Evaluate your unique situation to see which of these will apply to you,
and don’t forget to check local and state laws to see what additional
requirements you may be subject to.
All postings are available on the HCSI website, except where noted.
●
FLSA-Required
Postings
The FLSA
requires employers to post federal minimum wage requirements. The Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor (DOL) also requires employers to post about
special minimum wages for disabled workers.
●
OSHA-Required
Postings
The federal
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to post
a notice about job safety and health protection. This is the “OSHA Job Safety
and Health: It’s the Law” poster, which advises employees of their rights.
●
EEOC-Required
Postings
The poster “Equal Employment Opportunity
is the Law” must be posted by any employer that is subject to EEO and
nondiscrimination laws. This poster covers the nondiscrimination rights of
employees and applicants based on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA), the Equal Pay Act, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA).
●
FMLA-Required Postings
Any employer covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) must
post a notice outlining employee FMLA rights and responsibilities.
●
USERRA-Required
Postings
The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)
requires employers to provide notice to any employees entitled to USERRA
rights. They can do so with a conspicuous poster or by other means, as long as
the full text is provided to anyone who is entitled to the rights and benefits
of USERRA.

Required Notices or Postings

The
Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA) makes it illegal in most cases
for an employer to submit an employee or applicant to a lie detector test.
