GA Posters

September 6th, 2006 Posted by Hannah

In the state of Georgia, posters outlining the state and federal labor laws must be clearly and visibly posted in every workplace.  These posters must be in an area where all employees will have access to them, so employee work rooms, break rooms, mail rooms or anywhere else where employees are likely to gather before, during or after work will suffice as long at the posters are visible in the area.

Georgia poster requirements are not arbitrary laws.  The information found on the posters is important information to help employees and employers ensure that they are working in a law-abiding environment.  Employees can use the posters to help stay aware of their rights, to know what their employers can and cannot do according to the state and federal labor laws and to know where to go if they need to file a complaint or report a grievance against an employer who is acting unlawfully according to the labor laws.  Employers can also use the Georgia posters to their benefit.  The posters specifically outline what they can and cannot do under the labor laws that apply to them.  For example, the posters outline the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act so employers will know what they need to do to remain lawful and under what conditions employees can earn differing pay for the same types of work.

Georgia posters need to outline both state and federal laws.  The state laws include information on the No Smoking Notice, Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, Equal Pay or Equal Work and Vacation Notices.  The required federal laws 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 often change and these changes need to be reflected on the posters by law.  That’s why it’s important for employers to make sure they have the most current Georgia posters posted in their workplaces.
