Employers must post the Kansas State Employer and Employee Posters in plain view. These posters can be found in common areas or in the employee workroom. These posters are designed to make sure employees understand their rights under federal and state law. Each of the Kansas State Employer and Employee 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 Kansas State Employer and Employee Posters contain information about state laws including Discrimination Notice, Unemployment Insurance, Child Labor and Workers’ Compensation. Federal laws 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 OSHA-Job Safety & Health Protection.

It is paramount that the poster must be placed in a conspicuous place at work. Remember the employer has the responsibility to post the latest version on file in the work place. The Kansas State Employer and Employee Posters are updated frequently. It is mandated by law.

The latest update to the Kansas State Employer and Employee Posters occurred in July 2006. The new law went into effect on July 1. To help businesses understand the proper way to classify workers. It is illegal to intentionally misclassify of an employee as an independent contractor to avoid state withholding taxes or unemployment insurance taxes. This law will cut down on tax evasion by companies and individuals.

Once again you need to check the existing posters at your place of work. It is very important to have the latest posters hanging up in the work site for employees to see.

I wanted to make sure you knew about the change that came up earlier this year on the Kansas State Employer and Employee Posters. Make sure you check back for updates in the near future.
