Previous: Affiliates and Tax Liability Here's a heads up about misleading mail being sent to employers about labor law posters. There's a company sending email (and possibly mail through conventional mail) alerting employers ... to the fact that coverage under the FMLA has been extended. That statement, by itself, is true. But the email is misleading. Here's why: Below that factual statement is another true statement that employers are required to post a number of other federal labor law posters. The email goes on to say that the company's posters "now" include all 6 required posters. What's misleading is that the way the email is worded, it implies (because it states coverage under the FMLA has been extended) that there is a new required FMLA poster and that the company has incorporated the new required FMLA posting into their posters. While I haven't seen exactly what's on that company's posters, the truth is that the official FMLA poster has not been changed as of the date of this post. The US Department of Labor (DOL) has issued an informational notice that can be hung in the workplace along with the current poster, but from our understanding even this notice is not required to be posted at this time. (And it can be downloaded for free from the DOL website.) Furthermore, it's quite likely the Department of Labor will make changes to the required posting later this year. Thus any poster purchased now with the FMLA on it will become outdated when the DOL does actually issue the final version of the poster. As many of you reading this blog know, labor law posters are among the various HR products we sell ourselves. We keep up with the major changes in federal and state labor laws, and maintain a list of when laws last changed on our poster sales site. Whether you are one of our customers or not, you can always see the latest state and federal labor law poster changes on our poster update page. To avoid buying posters you may not need, or may soon be changing, we urge you to check that list - or call our office at 631-467-883 during East Coast business hours if you have any questions about whether or not you really need new labor law posters. | Comments (1) Comments |

Thanks once again for making such information available. It’s sad that you have to, but helps renew my faith in humanity that you do. :)
