If you’re an employer in Arkansas, you are already aware that the state requires the posting of Arkansas ( AR ) Employment Labor Posters at the workplace. You must put these posters in a place that employees will see them easily and often, like in a break room or a main meeting area. The labor posters ensure that both employees and employers know what the laws are and where they can go for assistance in case of compliance issues.

The most important part of posting the Arkansas Employment Labor Posters is to keep yourself updated, so that you and your employees know about changes to the law. For example, the minimum wage law in Arkansas will change on October 1, 2006. At that time all employers who have at least four employees will be required to pay this wage. The employment labor poster about minimum wage, which Arkansas requires to be posted, will have to be replaced right away in order to reflect this change in minimum wage.

In addition to the Minimum Wage poster, Arkansas (AR) Employment Labor Posters that must be present in the workplace include Right-to-Know, Unemployment Insurance, and Worker’s Compensation. There are also Federal posting requirements, including: 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, OSHA-Job Safety & Health Protection.

There have been other small changes to employment laws over the past year in Arkansas. The addition of criminal penalties for employers and financial advisors who engage in SUTA (State Unemployment Tax Act) dumping is one. You can check back frequently with our website to stay abreast of changes as they occur. You can also easily obtain up to date posters that will keep your business in compliance with the law.
