I try to research the employment labor laws often to look for changes, and report those changes to you here in this blog. In researching the Vermont (VT) Employment Labor Poster requirements, I noticed that there was a change in March 2006. The change was on the Unemployment Insurance poster. It now gives telephone numbers that employees can call if they become unemployed, or even if the amount of their work hours are reduced. When employees call these numbers, they are told how they can go about filing for unemployment benefits.

There are several other Vermont (VT) Employment Labor Posters that must be posted in every business in the state. These are: Minimum Wage Law, Clean Indoor Air Quality Act, Employers’ Reinstatement Liability, Workers’ Compensation, OSHA - Health and Safety Protection, Sexual Harassment, Parental and Family Leave Act, and the Child Labor Law.

There are also Federal labor law posters that are required to be placed in view of all employees. They are: Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law, OSHA - Job Safety and Health Protection, Employee Polygraph Protection Act, Federal Minimum Wage, Family and Medical Leave Act, and the new USERRA - Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act.

The Vermont Department of Labor, as well as the Federal Department of Labor both work to ensure that there are regulations and safety measures in place in every business. That’s why these laws are in place, and why the posters are mandated to be on display.

Are your posters up to date? The employment labor posters have to be changed every time there is a change to the laws. That is totally the responsibility of the employer. Are your posters visible to everyone who works at your business? Are any of them missing or torn? These are all questions you, or someone who works for you, will need to look into on a regular basis.
