There are very specific Alaska (AK) posting requirements for employers. The labor law requirements are divided in four ways: between state and federal requirements and again between labor law postings that are mandatory for all employers and labor law postings that are required for only some postings.

Here’s a brief overview of Alaska (AK) posting requirements for employers: All employers must post information about the minimum wage and overtime payments. All employers are required to post information about safety and health protection on the job. All employers are required to post information about unemployment insurance. A workers’ compensation notice must be placed in three conspicuous places by all employers as well.

If an employer has 15 or more employees, he or she must post information about sexual harassment.

The second set of Alaska (AK) posting requirements for employers involves posts that are required only if an employer has a specific type of employee. Among these special posts are: information about the Child Labor Law, which must be posted if an employer employs a minor under the age of 18 years old. Additionally, if the employer employs a minor and if the business deals with net fishing, he or she must post information about the Child Labor Law – Net Fishing Requirements.

Please note that the Alaska (AK) posting requirements for employers differs from the Federal requirements. Federal requirements involve having all employers post information about the minimum wage (in both English as well as Spanish), the OSHA notice, Equal Employment Opportunity, Earned Income Credit, Check Your Withholding and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.

Also under the terms of the Federal posting requirements, employers of migrant workers must post the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection if they employ migrant workers. They must post information about the Family Medical Leave Act if they have 50 or more employees and they must post information about the Employee Polygraph Protection law if they subject employees to polygraphs.
