Are you properly displaying the required labor laws?
Chances are you're required to post specific labor-law information in your workplace, says Joe Lustig, an attorney and editor with AlignMark Information Publishing in Alexandria, Virginia. Both the federal government and individual states require legal postings. In addition, further posters are required for government contractors and other specific types of businesses. And remember, says Lustig, if you operate in more than one state, you may have to follow different laws at each of your locations.
Failure to properly display posters can mean fines of $100 per violation, says Lustig, along with the inconvenience and cost of intrusive investigations from various Labor Department agencies.
To make sure your federal labor law postings are correct, check with the U.S. Department of Labor at (202) 219-8211 or visit the agency's Web site at http://www.dol.gov For information on state requirements, contact your state's labor department.
