While the US Virgin Islands are not a US State, they are considered a United States territory and do fall under jurisdiction of many federal laws. One of these laws is the requirement for employers to post federal and local employment and labor laws. These posters need to be placed in an area where all employees have access such as a break room, mail room or work room – anywhere that the employees tend to gather on a regular basis is appropriate.

It’s also important for employers to make sure that the US Virgin Island posters they have posted are current. Labor and employment laws and details change frequently (sometime even annually). For example, the employers and employees of the US Virgin Islands now have a new EEOC office to report to in San Juan, and this information needs to be reflected on the posters.

The federal laws that need to be posted 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 and Health Protection.

The US Virgin Island posters are important for both employers and employees. Employers can benefit from having the most current information available because they can use the posters as a reference to help them make sure they are upholding the laws and their employees’ rights. They can also use the posters as references whenever they have questions about specific laws pertaining to labor and employment. Employees can also benefit from this information because this is often their main source information on their rights and responsibilities when it comes to labor and employment law. The federal law posters also contain information on what agencies employees need to contact if they are having problems in their workplace.
