Michigan Posters that outline the pertinent labor and employments laws must be posted in the state’s workplace.  It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure that these posters are both posted and up-to-date – especially since labor laws can change frequently (sometimes even yearly).  Good places to post this information are those areas where employees tend to gather before, during or after work such as the employee break room, mail room or work room. 

The information on the Michigan posters is quite important to both employees and employers.  First of all, employees need the posters so that they have access to the laws that dictate their rights and responsibilities when it comes to labor and employment laws pertaining to them.  Secondly, employees can also refer to the posters if they need to make a complaint or file a grievance – the posters give the information for both state and federal agencies that handle violations of these laws.  Employers also benefit from the Michigan posters because they serve as a reference point so that they know if their company policies uphold the law in terms of their employees’ rights.  They can also check the information on the posters if they have questions about specific laws such as how many hours minors are allowed to work during the school year and what exactly they need to provide in terms of the Family and Medical Leave Act.

As with the posters of other states, Michigan posters need to have both state and federal laws.  The state laws that all employers should have posted are those that give information about OSHA, wage deviation, discrimination, unemployment insurance, overtime compensation, minimum wage, child labor and workers’ compensation.  The federal laws that should be posted are 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.
