Required Workplace Posters
Employers must post certain notices where workers can see them, usually in the break room, shop, or jobsite trailer. They tell you your rights and where to get help.

State and local posters
Most states require their own posters for minimum wage, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance, paid leave, and more. Some cities do too. Posters are often required in languages other than English where workers need them.
