State of New Mexico (NM) Employment Labor Posters

September 17th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

In New Mexico, there have not been a lot of recent changes to New Mexico (NM) Employment Labor Posters that I have noticed. There was one change, though, that is very important if you happen to be a tipped employee in the state of New Mexico. Yes, that’s right; tipped employees have gotten a pay increase. Specifically, the tipped employees now have a minimum wage of $5.60.

Please be sure that your Minimum Wage poster has been updated to reflect the new tipped employee minimum wage. While you’re updating, be sure that you also have the following New Mexico (NM) Employment Labor Posters prominently displayed on your walls in a place where your employees congregate often, like in a lunch room or a break area. Those posters are: OSHA – Health and Safety Protection, Ombudsman Workers’ Compensation, Workers’ Compensation, and the Discrimination Notice.

While you’re checking on your posters, make sure you also have all of the required Federal Employment Labor posters. The Federal laws that are required to be posted at the workplace include 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.

It is the responsibility of the employer to know when laws have changed and replace the posters. You also need to have a plan so that you know when the posters have become lost, stolen, or damaged. You must replace them right away to be in compliance with the law. You also need to be sure that the posters can be seen by workers and haven’t been covered up by bulletin boards, other notices, or by moving file cabinets or bulky furniture in front of them. It’s not just a suggestion –it’s the law!

Nevada (NV) State Required Compliance Posters for Businesses

September 15th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

In Nevada, the presence of employment labor posters in the workplace is required for certain laws. Employers must post these laws in a place that employees will see them often, as a reminder of compliance with the law as well as an informational source. Employees have certain rights as well as certain responsibilities, all of which are outlined on these posters. They also give telephone numbers of the offices that lay out the laws, so that if employees feel there is a problem with compliance or even if they simply have a labor law question, they know who they can call. The posters remind employees of certain rights. For example, did you know that employees can ask for an OSHA inspection? Or that, if they do request an inspection, OSHA will keep the name of the complainant confidential?

The Nevada ( NV ) Employment Labor Posters that are required by law to be posted are: Discrimination Notice, Minimum Wage Law, Lie Detector Tests, Workers’ Compensation – Part 1 and Part 2, Emergency Numbers, OSHA – Safety and Health Protection on the Job, and Unemployment Insurance.

Besides those state laws, there are several Federal posting requirements. You may notice that there is an overlap in some of them, like the minimum wage law. That is because the government sets out the standard, but then states are allowed to step in and make their own employment labor laws if they so choose. At any rate, the federal employment labor posters include the following regulations: 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.

I know that the minimum wage poster was updated recently with new information regarding payment of overtime, and the workers’ compensation notice was updated to include the contact information for the Office of Consumer Health Assistance. Are your posters up-to-date?

Mandatory New Hampshire (NH) Compliance Labor Law Posters

September 15th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

New Hampshire state law requires that employment labor posters be displayed in the workplace in a conspicuous area so that all employees can read them and be aware of them. Folks, I know we have gone over and over these laws, but it is vitally important that every business remain in compliance. By posting the labor laws, I believe that employers send a message to their employees that the laws will be followed and carried out at their place of business.

The New Hampshire ( NH ) Employment Labor Posters that are required in every workplace in New Hampshire include: Vacation Shutdown, the Right To Know Notice, Workers’ Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, Protective Legislation, Discrimination Notice, Whistleblower Protection, and the Minimum Wage Law.

Besides those state laws, there are several Federal posting requirements. You may notice that there is an overlap in some of them, like the minimum wage law. That is because the government sets out the standard, but then states are allowed to step in and make their own employment labor laws if they so choose. At any rate, the federal employment labor posters include the following regulations: 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.

Keeping up with changes in the laws and updating the New Hampshire ( NH ) Employment Labor Posters is the responsibility of each and every employer. It is vitally important, if you are the employer, that you know about these labor law changes. That’s because only you will be given a citation if it is found that your labor posters are missing, torn, out of date, or simply covered up by some other poster or piece of furniture.

State of New Jersey (NJ) Compliance Labor Law Posting Requirements

September 15th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

In researching New Jersey employment laws, I discovered that the state has made quite a few important changes to the labor laws and the related New Jersey ( NJ ) Employment Labor Posters. Specifically, there were changes to the child labor poster, showing the increase in penalties and fines for violations of the state child labor laws; there have been amendments added to the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act; and “domestic partnership” has been added to the Fair Employment poster. The Wage payment posters were updated recently, too. That’s because the New Jersey Department of Labor changed its name to the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Any time there is a change, no matter how small, the corresponding employment labor poster must be updated.
Also, I noticed that New Jersey recently passed the New Jersey Smoke-Free Air Act, prohibiting smoking in almost all enclosed work places. The “No Smoking” sign now must be prominently displayed wherever smoking is prohibited. This is a new poster. Additionally, New Jersey ( NJ ) Employment Labor Posters that must be displayed include Payment of Wages, Workers’ Compensation, Child Labor, Discrimination Notice, Wage Payment, Conscientious Employee, Unemployment Insurance, Family Leave Act/Leave of Absence, and the Right-To-Know Act.
Besides those state laws, there are several Federal posting requirements. You may notice that there is an overlap in some of them, like the minimum wage law. That is because the government sets out the standard, but then states are allowed to step in and make their own employment labor laws if they so choose. At any rate, the federal employment labor posters include the following regulations: 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.

Nebraska (NE) Labor Law Posting Requirements for Employers

September 15th, 2006 Posted by Lindsay

In talking about the employment labor posters and how those laws relate to employees, I often run across new or changed labor laws. Today I have found a change in Nebraska’s employment labor poster, specifically the one regarding unemployment insurance. This poster was just updated, and is going to be required to be used in place of the old one. In fact, this change just took place this month, September 2006.

Employers have the sole responsibility of finding out about changes in the law and updating their posters. It falls squarely on their shoulders if posters are found to be missing, torn, or simply old.

By updating the employment labor posters as soon as changes occur, employers are acting in compliance with the law. But (and this at least as important as the employer compliance issue) by putting the posters out there as a constant reminder they are keeping everybody informed of the laws. They are giving a constant reminder to everyone that compliance is required from each and every person in the business.

So, the Nebraska ( NE ) Employment Labor Posters that I am talking about are: OSHA-Health and Safety Protection, Emergency Numbers Notice, Minimum Wage Law, Discrimination Notice, and the Child Labor Law.

Besides those state laws, there are several Federal posting requirements. You may notice that there is an overlap in some of them, like the minimum wage law. That is because the government sets out the standard, but then states are allowed to step in and make their own employment labor laws if they so choose. At any rate, the federal employment labor posters include the following regulations: 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.
