Workplace Poster Requirements for Private Schools
U.S. Department of Labor/
Office of Small Business Programs

Private schools are also employers, and as such they are required to post certain Federal and State workplace notices. Federal posters and more information about poster requirements or other compliance assistance matters are available at the Office of Small Business Programs, U.S. Department of Labor. Call toll-free (888) 9-SBREFA, or 1-800-693-6489, or visit the DOL poster page at http://www.dol.gov/osbp/sbrefa/poster/main.htm.

Additional information about posting requirements, including a chart containing information about who must post what information, is available at http://www.dol.gov/osbp/sbrefa/poster/matrix.htm. The chart provides links to each section's page for further information and particular posting requirements. The poster can be printed directly from that section's page--there is no need to order them from another source. Directions for printing and size requirements are contained in the information posted on each section's page. The first page (the link above) contains contact phone numbers for further information. The Poster Advisor is also available at http://www.dol.gov/elaws/posters.htm. The Poster Advisor is designed to help employers comply with the poster requirements of several laws administered by the Department of Labor (DOL).

A school should also contact the relevant agency in its State to determine what additional notices your State requires you to post. If your State has requirements that are tougher than federal requirements, for example on minimum wage or occupational safety standards, you are required to observe them. If you don't know how to contact your State agency, the Office of Small Business Programs in the U.S. Department of Labor (phone numbers above) will be happy to give you the appropriate contact information.

The federal posters that your school is most likely to be required to post are the following, but for specific guidance contact the Office of Small Business Programs in the U.S. Department of Labor, and your relevant State agency:

  • Job Safety and Health Protection (occupational safety and health)
  • Equal Employment Opportunity Is The Law
  • Your Rights Under The Family and Medical Leave Act
  • Federal Minimum Wage
  • Notice: Employee Polygraph Protection Act

    Some employers may also be required to post:

  • Notice to Workers with Disabilities Paid at Special Minimum Wages

  • Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

    Further Information
