As we enter the new year, it’s important to ensure your workplace labor posters are current with the latest federal regulations. Keeping your posters current helps you stay compliant and avoids potential fines.
Several federal state-specific laws and minimum wage updates have come into effect during the year, which may necessitate updated posters.

Where and How to Post
To maintain compliance, display these posters at each worksite location so applicants and employees can easily view them. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) also advises posting these notices online, such as on your company website or intranet, in places easily accessible to employees.
While online posting typically complements physical posters, the EEOC acknowledges that digital posting may be the only option in scenarios where no physical workplace or employees work remotely.
Access for Workers with Disabilities
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that notifications of federal laws prohibiting job discrimination be accessible to individuals with mobility-limiting disabilities. Here are some ways to ensure equitable access for employees with disabilities:
- Place notices in easily viewable locations for individuals with mobility issues or disabilities.
- Provide printed notices to those who need assistance viewing the poster.
- Offer alternative formats, such as audio files or electronic versions, for individuals with visual or reading impairments.
Additional accommodations include offering the poster in large print, Braille, audio recordings, or electronic formats compatible with screen readers for individuals with visual impairments.
