Beginning August 1, employers must post updated versions of the Federal Minimum Wage poster and the Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act poster.

The DOL made these changes this week, allowing little time for employers to comply before the August 1 deadline.

Federal Minimum Wage Poster 

Several mandatory changes were made to this poster, including:

• New information discussing the consequences of incorrectly classifying workers as independent contractors;
• New information relating to the rights of nursing mothers;
• Updated information regarding enforcement by the DOL; and
• Revised information relating to tip credits.

Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act Poster

This poster was updated to reflect changes to the appropriate contact information for the DOL and to remove reference to the penalty amount for violation of the law. Employers will need to update their posters. If you would like to order your new posters, click here.
