Delaware law states that all employers need to have posted a Delaware Poster in the workplace.  These posters must be place in a visible spot in the workplace – one that the employees are very likely to see on a regular basis.  So, employee break rooms and employee work rooms are good places as well as any place where the employees gather on a regular basis.

The Delaware Poster requirements are not just an arbitrary law for employers.  They actually benefit both employees and employers when they are kept available and up-to-date.  Employees benefit from these posters because they outline the state and federal laws that involve workers’ rights in the workplace.  This includes everything from the minimum wage requirements to the child labor laws.  Furthermore, the posters also give employees information on how to file complaints should their rights be violated in the workplace.  Employers also benefit from these posters.  While they outline employees’ rights, they consequently tell employers their responsibilities when it comes to upholding the law in the workplace. 

The Delaware posters need to have specific information about state-specific laws and regulations when it comes to labor and workers’ rights: The posters cover information dealing with child labor, breaks, discrimination, unemployment, minimum wage, payment of wages and workers’ compensation.  Additionally, there are several federal laws that need to either be included with the Delaware posters or at the minimum accompany them.  They 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.

Labor laws are often changed and updated, so employers not only need to make sure they have the posters posted in a conspicuous place, they also need to make sure the Delaware posters are current so that everyone involved is fully informed on the most up-to-date laws.
