HR-Alert: Monthly Labor Law Posters Updates August 2023

Background
Workplace labor law compliance poster notices are continuously changing throughout the year. In addition to minimum wage changes, there are often state, local, and industry-specific policy changes that require poster updates. If you have one or more employees, your business is required by law to post a current State and Federal Employment Law Poster in a central location visible to all employees. We monitor and track these labor law updates by providing a roundup of these compliance changes each month.
