2012 State Labor Law Posters
As we start the new year it is wise for an employer to review all the Labor Postings at their workplace to ensure they are in compliant with all state and Federal mandated posters. Many states had Major changes to their poster effective this month. The following states had an increase in Minimum Wage, which requires an updated poster: AZ, CO, FL, MT, NH, OH, OR, VT & WA. Other states added new required postings - CT added the Paid Sick Leave posting and NJ added the Employer Obligation to Maintain & Report Records. Other states may have updated laws that dictated a change in the posting information, such as California's Discrimination & Harassment in Employment has been updated and California's Family Medical Leave Act has been updated for 2012.
These are several examples of Major changes that can happen in your state. To keep up to date you may Opt-In to Email Notifications of Major changes to your state and Federal required postings.

The National Labor Relations Board has agreed to postpone the effective date of its employee rights notice-posting rule at the request of the federal court in Washington, DC hearing a legal challenge regarding the rule. The Board’s ruling states that it has determined that postponing the effective date of the rule would facilitate the resolution of the legal challenges that have been filed with respect to the rule. The new implementation date is April 30, 2012.
Most private sector employers will be required to post the 11-by-17-inch notice on the new implementation date of April 30. The notice is available on the (#LP9FED) 2012 Federal Labor Law Poster - Laminated, provided by National Safety Compliance.

NLRB Posting Requirement update
Judge Amy Berman Jackson on December 19th heard oral arguments in the challenge to the NLRB "Employee Rights" Posting Rule pending in U.S. District Court - a motion filed by the National Association of Manufacturers. The Rule requires employers to post a notice in the workplace that informs employees of their right to organize, provides contact information for the NLRB, and lists a litany of unlawful employer conduct. It is impossible to predict the outcome of litigation based upon this judge’s reaction and questioning during oral argument; however, it is clear that Judge Jackson believes the case is a complicated one. She asked the Board to postpone the effective date of the Rule beyond January 31, 2012, as currently scheduled, because she needs more time to deal with the issues.
Argument in a similar action pending in the U.S. District Court in South Carolina will not take place until January 11, 2012.

Delaware
Idaho
Maryland
Utah
Wyoming
New Mexico
Georgia
South Carolina
West Virginia
Alaska
In addition to this list of states released with no changes we had the following state labor law posters released with some changes:
New Hampshire was released with Minor changes made to the Minimum Wage posting. Changes include expanded definitions for "restaurant" and "tipped employees". Also there is a statement at the top of the posting that says NH will follow the federal minimum wage. This did not change NH minimum wage. NH did have legislation passed this year that changed some minimum wage laws, but the language in the minimum wage posting was not affected by these new laws; therefore, the minimum wage posting changes are minor.
Arizona was released with a Major change to the Minimum Wage posting. The Minimum Wage has been increased which mandates an updated poster to be posted. Also, the Safety & Health posting has been updated with current contact information for ADOSH and the US Department of Labor office in Phoenix, AZ.
Montana was released with a Major change to the Minimum Wage posting. The Minimum Wage has been increased which mandates an updated poster to be posted. The new minimum wage of $7.65 per hour is effective January 1, 2012 and has replaced the $7.35 per hour minimum wage of 2011.
