NEW FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT POSTINGS
|
|  On July 26, 2016, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced mandatory changes that take effect August 1, 2016, to two federal employment postings-allowing little time for employers to comply by the deadline.
These required updates affect the Federal Minimum Wage notice and the Employee Polygraph Protection Act notice, and our revised 2016 California and Federal Employment Notices poster will reflect the updates. Save 20% if you order a replacement poster by August 31, 2016.
