When you go to work have you ever noticed the Indiana State Employee and Employer Posters are designed to make sure employees understand their rights under federal and state law. Each of the Indiana Employee and Employer Posters has specific laws that relate to employment and where an employee can receive assistance if he or she feels that one of the laws have been violated.

The Indiana State Employee and Employer Posters contains information about state programs including Minimum Wage, Discrimination Notice, Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, OSHA- Health and Safety Protection, Child Labor Law and the Workforce Development Act. Federal laws on the poster include USERRA - Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law, Federal Minimum Wage, Employee Polygraph Protection Act, Family and Medical Leave Act and the OSHA-Job Safety & Health Protection Act.

I cannot stress enough that the poster must be placed in a conspicuous place at work. Also, the Indiana State Employee and Employer Posters are updated frequently. Remember it is the employer’s responsibility to have the latest version on file in the work place. It is the law.

I did a little research on Minimum Wage and found that Indiana’s Minimum Wage is $5.15, the same as federal guidelines. However in Indiana the Minimum Wage Law only applies to smaller employers. All others are covered by the federal law.
Another area that I found interesting was the Indiana Lunch and Break Law. If an employee is over the age of 18 they are entitled to two 30 minute breaks if he/she works more than six hours in a day.

I will update you when other changes are made to the Indiana State Employee and Employer Posters in the future.
