APPENDIX C
FEDERAL, NEW YORK, NEW YORK CITY, AND CONNECTICUT
POSTER REQUIREMENTS
Some of the statutes and regulations enforced by agencies within the Department of Labor (DOL) require that notices be posted in the workplace. The Department is providing electronic copies of the required posters. Some of the DOL's posters are available in language other than English. They are also available in electronic form.
Please note that posting requirements vary by statute; that is, not all employers are covered by each of DOL's statutes and thus may not be required to post a specific notice. For example, some small businesses may not be covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act and thus would not be subject to the Act's posting requirements. For information on coverage, the DOL Topic Index is a good starting point and will provide links to pages containing more detailed information.
