In Arizona, posters outlining state and federal labor laws need to be posted in all workplaces. It’s the employer’s responsibility to do this and to make sure that they are accessible to all employees. This means that the posters should be in a work room, break room, mail room or any other place that all employees are likely to visit on a regular basis. A great place to choose is the place where employees gather before or after work or on their breaks.

Arizona posters need to have certain laws outlined on them to be legal according to labor laws. The state posters should outline the following laws: Worker’s Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, Discrimination Notices, Work Exposure to Bodily Fluids, Constructive Discharge Notice and OSHA – Health and Safety Protection. Federal laws outlined on Arizona posters 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 and Health Protection.

Employers need to post these laws in the workplace for the employees’ protection, but they are quite useful for the employer as well. While they outline the employee’s rights within the workplace and give them the protocol for complaints or how to deal with violations to these laws, the Arizona posters also give the employers a great resource. By knowing the laws and the employee’s rights, employers will be aware of their responsibilities when it comes to Arizona labor laws and they will also know what exactly is expected and them in situations outlined by these laws – they’ll know their current obligations to the Family and Medical Leave Act, for example.

Since labor laws frequently change, it’s very important for employers in Arizona to make sure they update their posters just as frequently. Not having posters and not keeping posters current are both against the law.
