Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



Question: Do I have to post the federal workplace posters in languages other than English?

Answer:

With a few exceptions (FMLA and MSPA), the U.S. Department of Labor's regulations do not require posting of notices in Spanish or other languages. However, we encourage you to post the posters that are available in other languages on the Poster Topic page if employees in your workforce speak other languages.

  • Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) Poster – Where an employer's workforce is comprised of a significant portion of workers who are not literate in English, the employer shall be responsible for providing the notice in a language in which the employees are literate. (The FMLA poster is available en Español at www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/posters/fmlaspan.htm.)
  • Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) – This poster “shall be provided…as necessary and reasonable, in Spanish or other language common to migrant agricultural workers who are not fluent or literate in English.” (See the Poster Topic page for copies in Spanish and Haitian: In English/En Español or In English/An Ereyôl.)
