AK Posters

September 6th, 2006 Posted by Hannah

As an employer in Alaska, you need to help keep your employees aware of their rights when it comes to labor laws and the best way to do this is to keep an updated Alaska poster of the labor laws posted in a visible area in the workplace.  This area can be an employee workroom or break room or any where else your employees might congregate or at least visit on a regular basis.

The Alaska posters are great for your employees because it helps them stay aware of their rights, but they are also very helpful for you because you can use them as a quick reference to help you know what your responsibilities are when it comes to labor laws in Alaska.  By displaying Alaska posters and keeping them current, everyone in the workplace will know what they are expected to do and not to do when it comes to Alaska labor laws.

Alaska posters should show the state laws including those involving minimum wage, OSHA – Health and Safety Protection, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, sexual harassment, emergency information and child labor.  Federal laws that need to be highlighted on Alaska posters are 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 and Health Protection.

Labor laws change often and that includes the laws in Alaska.  If you already have posters in your workplace, you need to check them to make sure they are current since current Alaska posters help protect you and your employees as well as to give you and your employees the necessary protocol if there is a problem in the workplace as outlined by these laws.  Besides, it’s against the law to either not have Alaska posters or to have outdated posters posted in your workplace.
