Mandatory changes in labor law posting requirements occur regularly. The law requires employers to post all current labor law posters at each of their locations in areas frequented by employees during the course of a workday. In addition, each employer must take steps to ensure that such notices are not altered, defaced, or covered by other material. Failure to comply with these laws can result in fines and employee lawsuits that could cost you even more. The League offers the "Space Saver" state and federal government labor law poster. The poster is available horizontal or vertical, measure 36x24 inches and is laminated to protect against weather and vandalism. The "Space Saver" poster includes the following: Workplace Safety, Family Medical Leave Act, Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Civil Rights Notice with Americans with Disabilities Act Notice, Federal and State Minimum Wage Notice, Immigration and Naturalization Service Discrimination Notice, Employee Polygraph Protection Act, State Workers' Compensation Notice, State Unemployment Insurance Notice, Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
