Where and how to post
Post the notices in a conspicuous place where employees and applicants can easily see them, such as a break room or next to the time clock. Some notices must also be given to employees directly or offered in other languages; the agency pages above say when.
Remote employees: The EEOC says electronic posting usually supplements the physical poster. For employers without a physical location, or for employees who work remotely and don't regularly visit the workplace, electronic posting may be the only posting. (EEOC)

This page is a resource only. It provides general information about workplace posting requirements. It is not legal advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client or professional relationship. Employers are solely responsible for knowing which notices apply to them and for keeping every posted notice complete and up to date.
Posting requirements depend on your business: the number of employees, your industry, government contracts, whether you employ minors, and your city or county. Laws, posters, posting rules and agency web addresses change, sometimes with little notice, and these changes may not be reflected here right away.
We check this list and its links regularly (last checked ), but we make no guarantee that it is complete, accurate or current, and we are not responsible for the content of the government websites we link to.
