As the new year approaches, businesses across the country are preparing for 2026 labor law compliance requirements. One of the most important steps you can take is ensuring you have the latest federal and state labor laws posters displayed in your workplace.  

Are the labor law poster notices on the break room wall doing their job?Are they updated with current regulations? Unlike the poster of your favorite basketball star or music icon, labor law posters aren’t there for decoration. They carry legal weight and if they’re outdated or misplaced, your business could pay the price. 

Human Resources professionals understand how important and challenging it can be to remain updated and compliant with labor laws. This is especially true when managing multiple locations or remote employees across different states. One component of multi-state HR compliance includes ensuring you meet all state and federal labor law poster requirements.  

There have been a flurry of changes to federal contractor obligations this year with a lot still unknown. Many Executive Orders issued by President Trump have directly impacted labor laws and reporting requirements. Labor law posters are no exception to these changes.  

The start of a new year is a crucial time for businesses to examine policies, streamline operations, and set strategic goals. It’s also an ideal time to make sure your labor law posters are up to date and reflect any changes to laws that recently took effect. In 2024 alone, over 120 updates to employment and labor laws took effect, underscoring the importance of maintaining current posters.
