Washington (WA) Employment Labor Posters

September 17th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

I feel like a broken record sometimes when I talk on and on about employment labor posters and the importance of keeping them current and updated. However, it is of the utmost importance that you remain within the bounds of the law by keeping them current. You must keep your labor law posters posted in a place that all your employees have access to them. You also need to be sure the posters are not dirty or torn, as well as that they have not been removed or covered over by some other notice.

I recently checked on the Washington (WA) Employment Labor Posters, and although it was only a brief run through I did not see any glaring changes to the posters. I did see, and you should take note, that on the employee rights posters there have been some changes in wording with regard to child labor.

At any rate, please be sure if you live in Washington State that your posters are compliant. The Washington (WA) Employment Labor Posters that you must display include: Unemployment Insurance, Employee Rights for Non Agricultural Workers, Employee Rights for Agricultural Workers, Washington FMLA, Injury on the Job Notice, Discrimination Notice, OSHA - Safety and Health Protection, and the Minimum Wage Law.

There are also some 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 USERRA - Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act.

Placing these posters on your wall not only keeps you compliant with the Department of Labor requirements. I believe that it also sends your employees a message that you are serious about following safety and health regulations, and about following rules in general.
