Not only does the Department of Labor (DOL) answer this question, they provide the posters for free!!
To determine which federal forms you need to post for your business, use the elaw Poster Advisor. This tool walks you through a few questions and then lists the forms that you are required to post for your business.
Common federal forms are listed below:
- Equal Employment Opportunity Form (EEOC) is required for employers with 15 or more employees. The EEOC Law protects applicants and employees of most private employers, state and local governments, educational institutions, employment agencies, and labor organizations from discrimination
- Wage and Hour Form of The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is required by all employers. The FLSA governs federal minimum wage, overtime, child labor and tip credits. Note: be sure to pay attention to your state minimum wage; whichever is higher between the federal and state wage will prevail.
- Job Safety and Health Protection Form of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) stipulates that employers must provide employees a workplace free from recognized hazards.
- USSER – The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act protects the job rights of individuals who voluntarily or involuntarily leave employment to undertake certain types of service.
- Polygraph Protection Act prohibits private employers from using lie detector tests either for pre-employment screening or during the course of employment
