The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has released a new "Employee Rights Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)" poster to reflect recent legal changes made under the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act. A copy of this new poster is available here. The older versions of the FLSA poster are no longer compliant.
These new mandatory posting changes follow an October 2022 change to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) "Know Your Rights" poster. But more changes are expected. As a result, employers may want to hold off on displaying a new all-in-one poster. The temporary FLSA poster can be displayed alongside an all-in-one poster until all mandatory changes are available.
Employers must have the legal posters conspicuously posted at each worksite. Required posters must be displayed so they are easily visible to the intended audience, according to the DOL. Some posters must be visible to job applicants, as well.
In response to a large number of employees working remotely in 2020, the DOL will consider electronic posting by employers via e-mail or an Internet or intranet website to satisfy the employer's requirement to provide employees with required notices.
