ABSTRACT

Managers should be familiar with the many federal and state laws that govern employment. Companies are required to post notices that tell employees of their legal rights. The posters you must put up will depend on the number of employees you have and on whether you have any federal contracts. These posters must be kept up to date, must be placed in a prominent space, and cannot have any information omitted from them. Remember that each state varies in its requirements and you should consult with your local government, or with private companies that specialize in human resource requirements, to determine which posters are required.
