Virginia Posters

September 20th, 2006 Posted by Ashley

Sometimes finding accurate information pertaining to Virginia law can be difficult. Therefore, I have conducted the research for you and believe the following information will be help you understand the state and federal requirements for posting labor law information, as well as requirements for Virginia Posters. Just remember that the employer is responsible for making sure that the posters on display at the place of business or work site are the most up-to-date available and current Virginia Posters can help you stay within these guidelines.

Virginia requirements for posting labor law and employee rights notices include Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Health and Safety Protection, Discrimination Notice, Unemployment Insurance, and Workers’ Compensation. As an example of a state requirement that may be slightly different from the federal requirement, Virginia has its own OSHA laws to protect workers on the job. This would be very important to employees and having the most current Virginia Posters on display is a good way to provide this information to employees. In addition, current Virginia Posters allow the employer to be prepared if posting notices was the focus of a labor inspection.

Another example would be the Discrimination Notice, which is also part of the federal requirement. However, both are necessary parts of the current Virginia Posters and should be clearly displayed in an area where workers gather, such as the lunchroom or break room. Included in the federal list of posting requirements are 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.

Among the federal laws, the USERRA refers to the rights of those who want to serve in the military but do not necessarily make a career of it. The law protects the rights of those who want to return to their original civilian work after serving in the armed forces, reserves, or National Guard.

Rather than wait, I highly recommend you take this time for the employer and employees to check the Virginia Posters on display at the place of business or worksite just to be certain no changes have been applied, thus requiring new Virginia Posters. Laws can and do change, and having the most up-to-date Virginia Posters on display in a common area not only keeps the employer within state and federal guidelines but it also provides employees with the important information they need about their rights under state and federal labor laws.
