New York State Labor Law Posters

It is required by New York law that all employers display specific New York and Federal labor law posters in a conspicuous place where all employees will see them. Labor law compliance posters contain mandatory employee rights information regarding minimum wage, anti-discrimination, unemployment compensation, workers’ compensation, and other topics. Posting the required labor law postings ensures that employees are aware of their rights and also lets them know where to go if they need to file a complaint.

Federal Labor Law Posters are required to be displayed in all workplaces in the United States. These posters provide employees with information about their rights under federal labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). New York State also has its own set of labor law posters that must be displayed in workplaces.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) is responsible for enforcing the FLSA, and WHD’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces the OSH Act. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is responsible for enforcing the NLRA.

To ensure that employees are aware of their rights under these laws, employers are required to display federal and state labor law posters in a conspicuous place where employees can see them. Posting requirements vary depending on the size and type of employer, but all employers must post at least the federal posters. Some states also have additional posting requirements for employers who are subject to state labor laws.

State and Federal Minimum Wage Posters

Most employers in the United States are required to display certain posters in their workplaces. These posters provide employees with information about their rights under state and federal law. Some of the most important posters are those that notify employees of the minimum wage.

In New York, the current minimum wage is $12.50 per hour for non-exempt employees. Employers must display a notice informing employees of the current minimum wage in a conspicuous place where all employees can see it. The notice must be written in English and Spanish, and it must be updated whenever the minimum wage changes.

Federal law requires employers to display a different kind of poster, known as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) poster. This poster provides information about employees’ rights under the FLSA, including the right to receive at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a week. The FLSA poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where all employees can see it.

These laws set specific age limits for certain types of work, as well as establish hour limits and break times for workers under 18 years of age. Employers who violate these laws can be subject to heavy fines and other penalties.

The federal government’s child labor poster, titled “Your Rights Under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” must be posted in a conspicuous place where all workers can see it.
