The Wisconsin Labor Law Posters have been a frequent topic of debate here on my blog, or at least for a few times here and there. And we’ve had the chance to cover the gist of the reasons for the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters, and the places that employers have to put up the posters in their work sites.

We’ve also covered how different the postings are on the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters, comparing the state postings with the federal postings and going over in a nutshell what the postings are for. But what we haven’t done yet is really get in depth on some of the postings in the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters.

That’s where we start now. The first posting in the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters that we want to consider “up close and personal” is the unemployment benefits notice, whose official title on the posting is the “Notice to Employees About Applying for Wisconsin Unemployment Benefits.”

This posting in the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters covers when employees need unemployment insurance, and those times it lists with bullets as: when an employee is totally unemployed; when an employee is partially employed and has their weekly earnings reduced; when an employee is expected to be laid off within the next 13 weeks and wants to get a head start on their unemployment benefits.

The unemployment posting in the Wisconsin Labor Law Posters also goes into what employees need to get the benefits. They need to have their Social Security number handy, as well as a personal identification number, which they can make up when they apply for the benefits. They also need to have their driver’s license number, if they have a license. And most importantly perhaps, the employees need to have the names of every company they worked for in the last 18 months.
