What are the labor law posting requirements for employers in the state of Texas?

You will find that employers in the state of Texas are required to abide by the same basic labor law posting requirements as employers in all states across the U.S. There are two general ways to think about your labor law posting requirements: what labor laws you post and how you post them. In terms of the regulations for posting your labor law notifications, you should keep in mind that you must do the following:

• All employers are required to post both the Texas labor law notifications as well as federal labor law notifications.
• You are only required to post information about those labor laws that specifically apply to your business. If a labor law does not apply to your business, you are not obligated to post information about the law, but you might find that the labor law is included on your labor law posters anyway.
• The labor law posters can either come with both the federal and the state labor laws on one poster, or the federal and state labor laws on separate posters. You can find both kinds of posters at www.laborlawcenter.com.
• The labor law posters should always be kept up to date with the most current information about labor laws. You will note that the federal minimum wage increased in 2007, so you should be aware that you need to have a 2007 federal labor law poster that reflects that increase.
• Your labor law posters should always be displayed in an area of the workplace that all employees can access, such as an employee break room.

In terms of the specific Texas labor law notification requirements, they are as follows:

• Child Labor
• Workers’ Compensation Notice – Part 1
• Workers’ Compensation Notice – Part 2
• Workers’ Compensation Notice – TWCC 5

• Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law
