Some of the statutes and regulations enforced by agencies within the
Department of Labor require that posters or notices be posted in the workplace.
The Department provides electronic copies of the required posters and some of
the posters are available in languages other than English.
Please note that posting requirements vary by statute; that is, not all
employers are covered by each of the Department's statutes and thus may not be
required to post a specific notice. For example, some small businesses may not
be covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and thus would not be subject to
the Act's posting requirements. For information on coverage, visit the
Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small
Business (elaws) Poster Advisor. You may also contact the Office of Small
Business Programs, for assistance with these notice requirements.
To obtain posters or for more information about poster requirements or
other compliance assistance matters, you may contact the U.S. Department of
Labor by telephone at 1-888-9-SBREFA, or by email at
Contact-OSBP@dol.gov.
