State & local posters

Minimum wage, workers' comp, unemployment, paid sick leave and more — every state, and many cities, require their own. This is where small businesses slip up most.

The Department of Labor has a free tool that tells you which federal posters your business must display — based on your size and what you do.

  • Use the free DOL Poster Advisor. Answer a few questions and it lists your required federal posters.
  • Size matters. The EEOC "Know Your Rights" poster generally kicks in at 15+ employees; FMLA at 50+.
  • Federal contractor or sub? You have extra postings — Pay Transparency, the NLRA "Employee Rights" notice, and E-Verify.
Post them right

Three rules that keep you covered.

1

Use the current version.

Agencies update these — the EEOC and minimum-wage posters both changed in 2022–2023. An old or homemade copy doesn't count. Download fresh from the links above.

2

Put them where people look.

A common area employees and job applicants pass every day — the break room, the time clock, the entrance. Not a binder in the back office.

3

Cover remote & hybrid staff.

Give off-site team members electronic access (intranet or email) in addition to the wall posting — not instead of it.

The fine print.

This page is a One Percent planning tool to help you find and post the correct notices. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for the official government posters. Posting requirements depend on your company's size, industry, and location — and they change. Always download the current official version from the agency, confirm your state and local requirements, and when in doubt, contact the U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-4-USA-DOL (1-866-487-2365) or a qualified employment attorney.
