Wisconsin (WI) Employment Labor Posters

September 17th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

I noticed recently that the state of Wisconsin has a new minimum wage rate. Many of the states are changing their rates, if only because they’ve been at the same rate for so long and it hasn’t kept up with the cost of living. The new Wisconsin minimum wage took effect in April of 2006, and the rate will now be $6.50 per hour.

This means that you need to update your Wisconsin (WI) Employment Labor Posters, if you haven’t already, to reflect the change. In fact, any time a change is made to the employment labor posters that you are required to display, you must immediately update the related poster.

By posting the laws on the wall, you are letting your employees know that you are serious about compliance. You’re making your work environment safer for everyone, and you’re letting them know when a violation of the laws may have occurred, and what steps they can take to safeguard against a violation ever occurring again. Displaying the laws serves as a reminder to all employees and helps to educate them in the ways of employment labor laws.

Anyway, I’ll just go over the posting requirements here in my blog today in case there are any questions or discrepancies. Wisconsin (WI) Employment Labor Posters that are required to be posted in a conspicuous location in your place of business are: Business Closing/Mass Layoff Law, Family/Medical Leave Act, Discrimination Notice, OSHA-Health and Safety Protection, Unemployment Insurance, Child Labor law, Right-To-Know, and Honesty Testing.

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 Law, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and

USERRA - Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act.
