Texas Labor Law Poster Requirements

As you may know if you are a citizen of the United States of America, each State basically has their own regulations when it comes to the laws they place into the system. When it comes to the State of Texas and its labor laws, if you have a business and you employ people other than relatives you are absolutely required to post a slew of Texas labor law poster. As you have most likely guessed by now, not posting these up is actually a crime punishable by a fine of at least $17,000, meaning that it is in your best interest to put these up. While there are some companies out there that sell a labor law posters which have all the laws included in them, there are many who choose to print individual posters, which include: the Texas Payday Notice, Texas Equal Employment Opportunity, Texas Child Labor Laws, Texas Worker’s Compensation (one poster for what is offered and another for what is not), and the Texas Ombudsam Program. However, this is not the end of it as there are also various federal labor law posters which need to be put up, including: Family Medical Leave Act, Employee Polygraph Protection Act Notice, OSHA 3167, USERRA Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity and finally the FSLA which contains the Wage Laws as well as the Minimum Wage. There are sure a lot of laws that you have to keep up with, but also keep in mind that in addition to those, you are also going to have to post another set of these law lists depending on which industry you are involved in, ranging from the Healthcare industry to the restaurant industry.

As you may understand, even though the laws which you need to post are not being updated too often (most of them have last been updated in 2008 and 2009, but some date as far back as 2003), you are still going to be scrambling to get everything in order every time there will be a change, not to mention that you are going to have to spend a lot of your time checking up to see if any modifications have been made. Seeing as how not posting them is simply not an option but posting them is way too resource-consuming, the best option would be to look for a reputable company that actually sells these lists so that you don’t have to do the work.
