CO Posters

September 6th, 2006 Posted by Hannah

Colorado posters that outline the state and federal labor laws need to be available in every workplace in the state.  It is the employer’s responsibility to post this information where the employees will see it – good places are the employee work room or break room or any other place that employees tend to visit on a daily basis such as a meeting room or a popular gathering spot before or after work. 

These posters help the employees stay aware of their rights and responsibilities when it comes to labor laws in Colorado.  Posters highlight the laws, what actions are violations of the law and what employees need to do if they think their rights concerning these laws have been violated.  In addition, Colorado posters also help employers.  By keeping the posters current and available, employers in Colorado will know what they need to do to stay legal in terms of state and federal laws.  They will also know what is expected of them in case there is a problem or an allegation of a violation.

Colorado posters need to outline certain state laws: Workers’ Compensation Part 1 and Part 2, Discrimination Notice, PayDay Notice, Unemployment Insurance, and Minimum Wage.  In addition to the state laws, several federal laws pertain to Colorado employers and employees as well: 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 are never set in stone.  This means that they can and do change frequently.  That’s why it’s important for Colorado employers to make sure that the posters they have in their workplaces are the most current and up-to-date – that way everyone involved is sure to be on the same page when it comes to upholding labor laws and rights within the workplace.  Besides, it’s unlawful for the posters to be missing or outdated.
