Federal Labor Law posters available for free to Idaho businesses
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Many Idaho businesses don't know the required labor law posters some companies try to sell them are available for download from the state and federal labor departments for free.
Several statutes and regulations enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor require employers to make labor law posters available to employees and/or post them in the workplace.
Posting requirements vary by statute, and in some cases, by state. Not all employers are covered by the federal statutes and may not be required to post a specific notice. For example, some small businesses may not be covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and would not be subject to the Act's posting requirements.
State packets are available from the Idaho Department of Labor in English or Spanish and contain the following posters:
- U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Law
- Idaho Minimum Wage Law
- Job Health and Safety Law (OSHA)
- Employee Polygraph Protection Act
- Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993
- Idaho Unemployment Insurance Benefits
- Federal Minimum Wage
- Idaho Anti-Discrimination
- Military Family Leave
Federal employment posters are also available free of charge from the U.S. Department of Labor’s website. The federal webpage includes a link to the elaws Poster Advisor, a handy tool employers can use to determine which posters they are required to display at their place of business.
