Employers are legally responsible for posting a number of federal and state labor law posters. Failure to display relevant posters in a conspicuous area within an employee workplace can result in costly fines.
Labor law posters do not need to be purchased. Free copies are available on the respective governmental websites. The most common federal postings are linked below.

The DOL offers a FirstStep Poster Advisor to aid employers in identifying which federal poster requirements apply to an organization based on business type and employee demographics.
To identify state posting requirements employers should refer to state-specific websites. While posters are occasionally revised, both Kansas and Missouri have recently issued updated versions of some posters.
