Wyoming Posters

September 20th, 2006 Posted by Ashley

When it comes time to keep company personnel current on Wyoming law, now may be an excellent time for employers and employees to check the Wyoming Posters on display at the place of business or worksite. With this, information would show if any changes need to be made or if any laws have changed that would make it necessary to update the posters. An important note – it is the employer’s responsibility to make sure that the Wyoming Posters available to workers are the most up-to-date available.

I would like to start with some basic information about state and federal posting requirements for Wyoming Posters and let you know that current posters must be displayed in an area where employees usually meet or gather on a regular basis, such as the break room or lunchroom. In addition to the latest posters providing necessary information to employees, they also help the employer be prepared for a labor inspection if Wyoming Posters would happen to be the focus of a labor inspection.

State posting requirements for Wyoming Posters include OSHA – Health and Safety Protection, Workers’ Compensation, Discrimination Notice, Minimum Wage, and Unemployment Insurance. As an example of the need to have current and accurate posters on display, Wyoming requires notice of job safety and health information and notice of discrimination rules that are in addition to federal law and may have some slight differences from the laws that apply in all states. This would be important information for all employees and current Wyoming Posters can help pass this on to all workers.

On the federal list 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 items on this list, the USERRA requirement is somewhat new, which refers to those who want to serve in the military but may not want to make a career of it. The law defines under what circumstances they can return to their civilian job after their military service in the armed forces, reserves, or National Guard has ended.

Laws can and do change, and Wyoming Posters are meant to inform employees about specific labor rights. Therefore, any modified information and/or requirements would need to be passed on to the employees through various Wyoming Posters. If laws specific to changes for minimum wage or family leave would change, for example, this information would need to be provided. Although a company may have several means for disseminating information to employees and managers, having up-to-date Wyoming Posters where they are conveniently located and easily seen is essential.
