Can you give us an overview of the labor law posting requirements in Arizona?

Sure. In states across the country, businesses are required to post both state and federal labor law posters. The state posters will contain different information than the federal posters. Your business does not have to post information unless it directly applies to your business. For example, if your business is so small that you do not actually have to comply with certain laws, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act, then you are not required by law to post information about that Act. However, keep in mind that most statewide posters or federal posters will contain certain specific information that is already preprinted on the poster, so you may display it anyway.

When it comes to the specific labor law posting requirements for the state of Arizona, you will have to post the following:

Workers’ Compensation

Unemployment Insurance

Discrimination Notice

Work Exposure to Bodily Fluids

Constructive Discharge Notice

OSHA – Health and Safety Protection

Minimum Wage Information

Additionally, you will have to post the federal requirements, which were updated in 2007. Those requirements are as follows:

The 2007 Federal Minimum Wage

USERRA (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act)

Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law

Employee Polygraph Protection Act

Family and Medical Leave Act

OSHA – Job Safety and Health Protection

IRS Withholding Notice

Payday Notice

Anti-Discrimination Notice

As far as managing your postings go, many employers prefer to post both the federal and state labor law requirements on one poster. However, you may also wish to post these laws separately on different posters. www.laborlawcenter.com is a great place to purchase a variety of Arizona labor law posters that may impact your business.

Keep in mind that there are also very specific legal requirements associated with displaying these posters. For example, you are required to post them in a very visible spot in your workplace, such as in the employee break room. These posters should be immediately replaced in the event that they are removed. Also, if the posters are damaged, you need to replace them right away. As the Acts and labor laws change, it is important that you update the posters. For example, if you have not yet updated your federal labor law poster, it is time to do so in order to have the most up-to-date federal minimum wage information. CB
