Labor Law Posters

[Kirstie]

One day these government agencies will move into the modern age and allow us to put the notices in a folder on accessible computers. So much for conservation of resources.

Also, here is the text of the CA FAQ:
5.
Is it legal to put postings in a binder if I don’t have room to post materials?

Yes, but only under special circumstances. Some situations where this could be acceptable are a construction site where there is only an on-site trailer, or an agricultural site where the workplace is outdoors. If employers put postings in a binder, they must tell employees where the binder is located, have the binder available for employees, ensure employees have easy access to postings and don’t have to walk a long distance or ask to see the material.

I don't see this information on the Federal site. Given some ambiguity I plan to mount the print outs and slap them over the 2009 poster that graces out fitting room wall.

i've often wondered if I need to post the labor law poster when it's just me and my husband that work here...

[Richard Darling]

Our local job service provides a combined fed/state poster (single condensed poster that doesn't take up as much wall space) and they don't charge adime for it.

you are right. I apologize.
please continue.

Plus, the regs change annually, so do you really think I have time to redo them every year?

The thread was about the requirement for US to post them - and how to avoid buying the preprinted compliations fron the various companies that solicit us on an almost daily basis.

I sure didn't know (until I used Kirstie's link) that one could avoid the posting requirement by having an accessible binder and for me it is a better solution.

I thought others could benefit from the same information and your mocking me is uncalled for.

Apology accepted.

Unfortunately there is not a simple answer. I suggest you go to the link provided above to the federal site that asks you progressive questions and will then let you know what if any posters you are required to have.

Just note, that one key element is whether you are employees or not. As far as I understand, the only occasions where there are no employees in a business is when it is a sole proprietorship or partnership and there are no other individuals besides the owners working there. So a single person in a sub-s Corp or LLC formation is an employee, even if that person is the sole shareholder and director. However, I don't know whether a business with no employees is relieved of posting requirements - it doesn't seem like you would be required, but logic does not seem to be a prevailing element of our federal government.

When i worked for a local law firm, we threw these poster notices away and never bought any.
