Question: Where employees of two different employers are working at the same location, is each employer required to post all of the federal workplace posters that apply to them and their respective employees?
Answer: Where two or more employers have employees sharingthe sameworksite, andall the required federal posters are conspicuously posted whereall the employees cansee them, then only the one set of posters is required.
However, different employers may have different poster requirements. Therefore, since the posters required of both employers must be posted and visible to employees, each employeratthat worksite is responsible forensuring that all the federalworkplace posters that pertain to his or her employees are posted and readily visible as required.
Also remember that some posters must be posted where applicants for employment can see them.
Please see the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division guidance on posting at multi-employer establishments: www.dol.gov/esa/whd/opinion/FLSANA/2003/2003_03_03_2NA_FLSA.pdf (PDF) for more information.
