Question: We have remote and on-site employees. Do we have to post hard copies of required labor posters in the workplace, or can we provide only electronic ones on our internal web page for all employees to see?
Answered by the HR Experts: As you have remote and on-site employees, we recommend doing both. In December 2020, the Department of Labor issued Field Assistance Bulletin 2020-07, which permits businesses to share the poster information electronically as a supplement to the requirement to post hard copies. Electronic posting is only allowed as a substitute for physical posters if the following conditions are met:
- All the employer’s employees exclusively work remotely;
- All employees customarily receive information from the employer via electronic means; and
- All employees always have readily available access to the electronic posting.
Note that electronic posting of required labor posters must be as effective as on-site posting. They should be readily accessible without employees needing to ask for permission to view them or where to find them. We recommend sharing in a location where remote employees typically receive other legal notices and important information from your organization.
Since 2014, there have been over 400 different changes in the State and Federal labor law posters. Payroll Management offers affordable solutions to ensure your business stays compliant. Learn more about our Labor Law Poster Compliance services here.
