Will you include information about the labor law posting requirements that we need to comply with in Utah?

Sure. In the state of Utah, you are required to post both the required state and the federal labor law notifications. The state labor law notifications that are required are:

• OSHA – Health and Safety Protection
• Unemployment Insurance
• Workers’ Compensation

And the federal labor law notifications that are required are:You will find that employers in the state of Utah 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
• Payday Notice
• Unemployment Insurance
• Fair Employment Notice

In terms of the federal labor law notifications that you are required to post, they are as follows:

• New 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 

In addition to these required labor law posting, there are posting regulations for how you must display the labor law notifications. Those are as follows:

• You must display the labor laws that apply directly to your business. In the event that there is a labor law that does not apply to your business, you are not obligated to post information about that labor law.
• You must post the labor laws in an area of the workplace that is visible to all employees when they wish to have access to the labor law posters.
• You may not discriminate against employees for looking at the labor law posters.
• You are required to ensure that your labor law posters are kept up to date with the most current information about the labor laws. You will note that the federal minimum wage increased in 2007, so you will want to be sure that your labor law posters have the most current federal minimum wage information.
• The labor law posters need to be replaced if they are either removed or damaged. A great resource for labor law posters is www.laborlawcenter.com. CB
