We’re back at it—looking at the state based labor law and compliance posters. We took a minor detour there for a while to at some of the mandatory federal postings, and at some of the optional posters such as first aid and safety posters. Now we’re back on the state based posters, though, which may be the most important topic on this blog for employers.

Let’s start with the Colorado Labor Law Posters. The Colorado Labor Law Posters contain the same six federal postings that we’ve looked at in detail in the last few days of entries. And you thought you were completely getting away from the federal posters! Well, the truth of the matter is that Colorado Labor Law Posters and other state posters contain federal posters.

These federal postings at the minimum number six. Those six include the USERRA posting for employees who have to serve with the armed services; the federal minimum wage posting ($5.15); the polygraph protection act posting that explains employee’s rights when it comes to lie detector tests; the Family and Medical Leave Act posting for unpaid time off; the Equal Employment Opportunity posting; and the OSHA posting for workplace safety and employee health issues.

We’ve looked at those six in detail, so let’s move on to the state postings in the Colorado Labor Law Posters. There are five of these in the Colorado Labor Law Posters, including the discrimination notice, two workers’ compensation posting, a pay day notice, and unemployment insurance posting, and the minimum wage posting.

As with other state postings, all eleven of the postings in the Colorado Labor Law Posters must be located in the same place in a work site, and that place must be easy to find and access for employees. After all, these posters are for the employees’ education and training, and to help protect their rights.
