Labor law posters play a big role in regulatory compliance and employee 
education at your business. These posters not only serve to inform your 
employees of their employment rights and labor but helps to keep your 
company abide with labor law regulations.
Employers are required to display various federal and state law posters in 
their work place. Some of the law posters are required to be within the view 
of the employees while others should be available to job applicants also.
The requirement set by federal and state law varies depending upon the type 
of industry, type of business and number of businesses.
Federal labor law posters: Federal labor law posters implements the set of 
rules to point out the basic requirements and need of the work force such as 
the information about salaries, wage criteria, hours of working and service 
agreements.
 The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): It sets standards for minimum 
wage.
 Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA): This act applies to all private 
and public agencies with 50 or more employees. It is eligible for employees 
if they have worked for at least one year and have 1250 hours of service 
over the past 12 months.
Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO): It is the poster that should be 
posted in a place where it can be in access with job applicants. The law 
prevents employers from denying equal opportunities in promotion, hiring, 
training, member ship and other aspects of employment based on color, 
religion, gender and disability. This law helps to protect job applicants and 
employees from discrimination in employment opportunities.
 Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA): This act bars employers 
from using polygraph tests for pre-employment screening and during 
employment course. Also employers are restricted from discriminating, 
terminating and disciplining an job applicant or an employee for denial to 
take a test.

State labor law posters: In addition to the above mentioned federal laws, 
employers must also display state law posters. Here are some categories:

 Workers’ compensation
 State-run OSHA programs
 Equal employment
 Unemployment insurance
 Right to work or right to know
 Disability
 Discrimination
 Payday notice

Knowing what labor laws to display is difficult to determine as you will not 
get information readily available at one place. There are many laws that 
businesses need to abide with and these laws vary from state to state. These 
laws change through out the year and you should be updated with the posters 
each time if there is a mandatory change.
