California and Federal Labor laws cover different topics that are related to health, safety and employee rights. Each business is different, thus some businesses will require different labor law posters. For example, if your employees are Spanish speaking, the posters will need to be in both English and Spanish. The employees must be able to understand what the laws are about. Not only do businesses need to have Federal Labor Law posters, they need to display their state laws as well.
Regulations on topics that include, Harassment or Discrimination, Injuries Caused by Work, Safety & Health Protection on the Job, Unemployment Insurance Benefits, Minimum Wage, and Emergency Information should be displayed for employees at all times. Also, every employer must post the IWC Wage Order at their business. The IWC Wage Order is specifically for wages, hours and working conditions for the company’s industry.
