The federal government recently increased the fines employers may face for violating federal employment law posting requirements. Going forward, the potential posting fines are:
- Family and Medical Leave Act – $178
- Job Safety and Health: It’s the Law – $13,653
- Employee Polygraph Protection Act – $21,663
- EEO is the Law – $576
Employers should also be aware that each state has its own poster requirements, most of which impose fees for failing to comply. It is important for employers to maintain an effective strategy for staying informed about the applicable local, state, and federal posting requirements.
