Introduction
Hilb Group’s Workplace Poster Insights delivers workplace labor law compliance poster updates to your inbox each month. 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. Displaying workplace compliance notices informs your employees about their labor and employment rights. Failure to post required federal and state labor law notices may result in both federal and state fines.
To assist our clients with remaining compliant, we have a strategic partnership with Poster Elite, where clients can access resources for mandated city and industry postings as well as have access to the Labor Law Poster Store.
