Arizona Posters

September 12th, 2006 Posted by Ashley

I hope you’ll take a minute or two so that I can help you understand the requirements for keeping your Arizona posters up to date. Part of the basic information about the posters is that employers must place them in a common area, where workers meet on a regular basis or gather for lunch, for example.  Remember that laws can and do change, and laws are sometimes amended slightly each year.  Therefore, keeping the Arizona posters current can be very important. 

Any changes in information or in what is required of the employer or employee can be passed on to the workers through the Arizona posters.  These posters are designed to keep employees informed about their specific labor rights but it is up to the employer to put them in a place where they can be easily seen.  The Arizona posters required by law include Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, Discrimination Notice, Work Exposure to Bodily Fluids, Constructive Discharge Notice, OSHA-Health and Safety Protection. 

Employers should understand that there are definite federal requirements as well.  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.  Companies are now required to inform employees of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act (USERRA) and Arizona posters can help meet this federal requirement. 

USERRA posters tell veterans and their employers how the law affects those in the armed services, reserves, and National Guard.  The new law went into effect in February 2005 and states that members of the armed services may reclaim their civilian employment upon returning from military service.  This can be very important for both the worker and the employer, and that is why the USERRA poster should be part of the Arizona posters displayed.  In addition, if there is a labor inspection, the inspector may check to see if the posters are up to date.  Not only does this make sure that the employer is following both state and federal rules but it also advises the worker of their employment rights.  For this reason, it is in the employer’s best interest to keep the information updated. 

This may be the right time to check out your Arizona posters to see if any laws or information have changed since the last time they were posted. Laws specific to health and safety, polygraph tests, and unemployment can and do change.  If so, this new information needs to be provided to the employee.  One of the best ways to get this information to the employee is by properly displaying the Arizona posters.
