Labor law posters for Alaska must be posted in workplaces throughout Alaska. These posters inform employees of all their rights and protections granted by both federal and state laws. These posters must be placed in an area where all employees have a good chance of seeing them.

There are four mandatory state topics that must be covered on the labor law posters for Alaska and one topic that is optional. The optional topic is the Summary for Alaska Child Labor Law. This topic provides information about the work restrictions and allowable hiring practices for minors. The other four topics that must be covered are the Summary of Alaska Wage and Hour Act, Emergency Information, It’s Your Right To Know – Safety and Health Protection on the Job, and Notice to Employees – Unemployment Insurance.

The federal government requires that eight topics be covered on the labor law posters for Alaska. The eight topics are the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, Federal Minimum Wage, an employee’s rights under The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, Employer’s Notice of Insurance, Employee’s right to work in a safe and healthy environment, Equal Employment Opportunity, The Alaska human rights law and federal law against sexual harassment, and The Uniformed Services and Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).  

There are protocols in place to aid any worker who is not provided with the protections guaranteed on the labor law posters for Alaska. These labor law posters for Alaska also have the necessary information about what an employee, who is denied a right or protection, can do.

All of the above state and federal topics are required to be covered on labor law posters for Alaska. The posters must contain the most up to date information that is available. Failure by an employer to display the most current information in the appropriate areas is against the law.
