AL Labor Laws

September 12th, 2006 Posted by Jared

I didn’t have any trouble finding the Alabama (AL) Labor Laws online. There are many of them! Detailed descriptions of many can be found on the AL Labor Laws posters. The AL Labor Laws posters are required to be hung in the workplace in one or more conspicuous areas for viewing by employees. Many times employers will place these documents in areas where workers go everyday, like break rooms and work areas. 

The first I found dealt with Workers’ Compensation for the state. It basically states that if an employee is ever injured on the job or contracts a disease directly related to his/her occupation, he/she needs to notify his/her employer. At that time, the employer will send the employee to a doctor who has been approved to give medical treatment. Then workers’ compensation will give assistance, including for mediation services. 

Another that stuck out in my mind was the Alabama Unemployment Compensation Law. There are certain instances where workers will be entitled to benefits, so long as they become unemployed through no fault of their own. In cases where they quit or are fired with cause, however, claims may be delayed or completely denied. 

I also found that one of the AL Labor Laws is called the Employee Polygraph Protection Act. In most circumstances, private employers cannot use a lie detector test on its employees as pre-hire screenings or during the course of their job. This law has some exceptions, as this device can be used on those working in National Security work or other government jobs. 

This is far from a complete view of the AL Labor Laws. If you are in need of a complete listing, you may want to check out the department of labor website. However, if you need to view these laws or you need to hang some AL Labor Laws documentation around your workplace, you may want to check out the Alabama Complete Labor Law Poster.
