Question: Are there any “exemptions” from federal posting requirements?

Answer:

• There is an exemption from federal posting requirements for employers covered by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). Employers can either post the USERRA Notice/Poster, or give the employee a copy of the notice, as long as the full text of the notice is provided. The notice can be provided to employees by direct handling, mailing, or via electronic mail.
• There is another exemption from federal posting requirements with regards to the Employee Rights for Workers with Disabilities/Special Minimum Wage Poster. Where an employer finds it inappropriate to post such a notice, this requirement may be satisfied by providing the poster directly to all employees subject to its terms.
• Under Executive Order 13201, the requirements to post The Notice of Employee Rights Concerning Payment of Union Dues (Beck Poster) do not apply to: contractors with fewer than 15 employees; contractor establishments or construction work sites where no union has been formally recognized by the prime contractor or certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of the prime contractor's employees; contractor establishments where state law forbids enforcement of union-security clauses ("right-to-work" states); or work performed outside the United States that does not involve the recruitment or employment of workers within the United States.
