Required Leave Posters & Notices
Updated January 24, 2024
Some local, state, and federal regulations require employers to post information regarding the leaves of absence or related benefits available to employees under applicable law. To help employers navigate this compliance landscape, we’ve prepared the following summary of leave-related posters currently mandated within the United States1. Please note that this summary does not include all mandatory employment-related posters (e.g. minimum wage, sexual harassment, equal employment opportunities); only those that pertain to leaves of absence or related benefit entitlements.
We’ll update this summary from time to time to reflect changing requirements and regulatory developments. Contact Sparrow today to learn more about how to reduce your compliance risks.
