• Some federal laws require employers to display posters in the workplace.

Some federal laws enforced by the Department of Labor and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission include the requirement to display workplace postings. Employers with a federal contract have additional posting obligations.

Commonly required federal labor law posters

Most employers need these six federal postings:

• Employee Rights Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) — Required by employers with one or more employees.
• Employee Rights Under the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) — Required by employers with one or more employees.
• Job Safety and Health: It’s the Law! (Occupational Safety and Health Act, OSHA) — Required by employers with one or more employees.
• Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal — Required by employers with 15 or more employees.
• Employee Rights Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) — Required by employers with 50 or more employees.
• Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) — Required by employers with one or more employees. This could be emailed to employees rather than posted.

In addition, employers with more than 10 employees in the previous year must post the OSHA form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) from February 1 through April 30 of the year following the year covered by the form.

E-Verify posting requirements

Employers participating in E-Verify must obtain an official copy of the E-Verify poster from the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify website. To get the poster, the employer must log in to the website and then download and print the poster.

The poster is bilingual, and includes English and Spanish text.

In addition, employers enrolled in E-Verify must post the Right to Work poster in English and Spanish. These posters are available on the E-Verify website.
