1. The Need to Make Changes in
Labor Law Posters by
Employers

2. Labor laws are important for both employers as well as
employees. Labor laws furnish the framework of the
law that employers need to comply with and bring
clarity on employees' rights and obligations. The goal is
to equalize the bargaining power between employers
and employees. Thus, these laws are aimed to serve for
the welfare of employers as well as employees.

3. In this article, we'll discuss the need to make changes in
labor law posters by employers as mandated by the
government.
Specific poster requirements
Employers need to comply with specific requirements
concerning the posters such as dimension, size, etc.

4. Dimensions
The size of labor law posters varies depending upon the
specific Act. For example, OSHA posters need to have a
minimum size of 8.5 inches by 14 inches (with 10 point
type); and for the Executive Order 13496 i.e.
Notification of Employee Rights Under Federal Labor
Laws, the posters must be 11 inches by 17 inches.
On the other hand, there is no specific size requirement
for some posters like the EEO poster, the EPPA poster,
Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA) poster, etc.

5. Font style and size
With respect to style and size of font in labor law
posters, there are certain norms to be adhered to by
employers.
The text of the message displayed in the poster should
be large enough to enable employees as well as job
applicants to read it easily.
The posters must contain the laws, rules, etc. in full and
not in part or an abridged version.

6. Need of labor law posters
Mandate by the government
Unless specified, employers must comply with labor
laws. Displaying labor law posters is part of being in
compliance with these laws.

7. Informational
Labor law posters serve the purpose of informing
employees of their rights and obligations. For
employers, these posters are the tools that help them
ensure optimal compliance by properly informing
employers about the labor laws.

8. Reasons to make changes in labor law posters
Changes in labor laws
Governments can bring amendments in labor laws as
and when required. This could be because of changing
business situations and consequent demands for new
rules and regulations. Employers must have labor law
posters displayed at the workplace as required under the
new rules.

9. Creating awareness
Making changes in the existing laws is helpful for all
employers, employees and job applicants. This will
ensure timely and accurate compliance from employers,
and create awareness among employees of the laws
applicable to them. This ensures clarity with regard to
the new rules.

10. Consequences of not making changes
Imprisonment and fines
Employers not making the changes regardless of
whether it's willful or inadvertent are likely to attract
risks of heavy fines, penalties and in some cases
imprisonment.

11. Need for third parties in making labor law posters
Considering the possible timely changes in the labor
law posters, a third-party vendor is a sensible option for
overcoming the multiple challenges that business
owners face. Choosing accredited third-party service
providers bring benefits such as:

12. Saves time, money and manpower
As an employer, you are preoccupied with business
affairs and you can seldom focus on compliance with
labor laws. Accredited third-parties could play an
important role in this case.

13. Third-party service providers take care of ordering,
procuring and making changes to labor law posters as
per requirement. Employers do not have to devote any
of their employees for this purpose.
Prices of third-party labor law poster providers are
affordable as well. Thus, they help you save money and
manpower.

14. Intimation regarding change in laws by the government
In the event of any change in the laws made by the
government, third-party service providers make sure
appropriate changes are made in the labor law posters.

15. Services offered by third parties
Poster designing
Accredited third-party service providers design labor
law posters as per government rules-with respect to
size, text, language and appearance.
Regularly updating the changes
Third-party service providers make sure that you
comply with the Federal and State labor laws. They
keep a track of the changes in labor laws brought out
by governments (Federal and State) and find which
laws would apply to your company.

16. Poster placement services
Service providers can determine which labor law
posters apply to your business and provide them in a
timely manner. Third-party sellers make sure that labor
law posters are displayed in the correct places at the
workplace.
Making changes in labor law posters according to
ammendments to the law is mandatory for employers.
Not doing so can be tantamount to noncompliance, and
could attract fines, penalties or imprisonment.
