The state of Connecticut has mandated that all employers must post the Connecticut ( CT ) Employment Labor Posters in a location within the business that is easily seen by workers in the building. These labor posters show all of the state and Federal labor laws and explain how employers and employees must comply with those laws. They also give contact information for asking questions or reporting violations of the laws. 

The Connecticut ( CT ) Employment Labor Posters that must be posted at the workplace are: Workers’ Compensation Act, Sexual Harassment, Minimum Wage, Discrimination Notice, Electronic Monitoring, and Unemployment Poster. In addition to these state labor laws, there are Federal Labor Law Posters that must be displayed. These 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 & Health Protection. 

Connecticut’s labor laws change often, and employers throughout the state have the responsibility of keeping their Employment Labor posters up to date. It’s very important to replace them often, as the laws are continually changing. If the posters are missing or are not current, the employer is in violation of the law. 

I know one law that will be changing very shortly in Connecticut is the minimum wage law. As of January 1, 2007, Connecticut’s minimum wage will increase from $7.40 per hour to $7.65 per hour. So, if you are an employer, please be sure that your minimum wage poster is both accurate and updated. You can check back with our website for detailed information of employment law changes and updates to the posters. I wanted to make sure you knew of this one very important change to the Connecticut ( CT ) Employment Labor Posters.
