Labor law postings that need company or location details to be compliant

Fill in the blank postings in Texas, the most of any state
A fill in the blank (FITB) posting is a labor law posting with fields the employer completes. Those fields hold company-specific details, such as a business phone number or address, or location-specific details, like a local hospital or police number. The posting is compliant once that information is in place.
The fields come in many formats: text fields, check boxes, radio buttons, selection lists, signature lines and more.
They apply at the local level. City and county postings carry fill in the blank requirements too.
They apply to remote workers. Digital postings for remote employees need the same completed fields.
They need regular upkeep. Audit each posting and keep details current, since blank or outdated fields create compliance risk.

Every region of the U.S. has fill in the blank postings. These states have the most:
Recent Updates
Since 2025, new fill in the blank requirements have appeared in Delaware, Minnesota, New York, Washington and Connecticut. Two recent examples:
Washington: The new I-9 Inspection in the Workplace posting, in English and Spanish, joined the September 2026 grid with fill in the blank requirements.
Connecticut: The electronic monitoring posting received a mandatory, shipment-triggering update in October 2026, with reformatted and newly added fields.
Workers’ compensation has the most fill in the blank postings by a wide margin. Here are the five employment law topics where FITB fields appear most often.
These are the questions we hear most since launching the new Fill in the Blank experience in the GovDocs Labor Law Poster Program. Many are about a specific posting, and the guidance applies to similar postings in other states.
Common fields: employer and insurer contact information, TPA or claims administrator details, self-insured information, emergency numbers and medical provider networks.
Georgia requires employers to list at least six physicians, professional associations or corporations of physicians. If one line is too short, spread the six across the posting’s nine lines: physician one on lines one and two, physician two on lines three and four, and so on.
Georgia also allows additional physicians on a separate sheet. If you use one, tell employees where to find it, such as your intranet or employee resource center.
This is a business decision for your company.
Some companies use the /s/ format followed by the signer’s name. Whatever you choose, communicate it to employees and apply it consistently across your fill in the blank postings.
When a field asks for the workers’ compensation insurer’s phone number, enter the insurer’s number. If you want to list something else, work through it internally first. Many postings carry several phone numbers. Massachusetts’s workers’ compensation posting, for example, asks for both employer and insurer contact details, so matching numbers could confuse employees.
Common fields: contact information, email and mailing addresses, and website links or resources for sexual harassment or domestic violence. These support reporting incidents, requesting reasonable accommodations and finding help.
Washington law requires employers to list the name or names of community resources for domestic violence. The Fill in the Blank tab shows this context alongside three fields to complete, so you can answer a manager’s question on the spot.
Yes. If the physical posting requires fill in the blank information, the remote or digital version requires it too.
Give remote and traveling employees easy electronic access through the GovDocs Internet Poster Program, add downloaded PDFs to your intranet, or email a completed PDF directly. Digital postings supplement physical posting requirements, and physical postings remain required.
Common fields: employer names, identification and account numbers, addresses and contact information that separated employees need to file for benefits.
Michigan requires the unemployment compensation notice to be posted, and it also requires a version for separated employees.
On the posted version, complete the fields that apply to your whole employee population, like employer name and address. Then give each separating employee a completed copy with their specific details. Some employers add “N/A” or a note such as “Please see your manager” or “Please contact HR” with a phone number for extra context.
Common fields: emergency and fire department numbers, OSHA contact information, worksite addresses, lists of toxic substances, safety data sheets, and safety and medical records details.
The law is generally silent on this. Many provisions require displaying a posting in English and Spanish, or in additional languages such as Chinese when, for example, 5% of the workforce speaks that language.
Base your approach on your workforce. With a large Spanish-speaking employee population, translating the field content may be the right call for your business.
Common fields: payday day, time and place, signatures and wage rates on payday rights, pay schedule and minimum wage postings.
California’s posting requirement is silent on this. Best practice is to list a manager at that location or the person who handles paydays internally. Keep your approach consistent with your other payday postings that have fill in the blank fields.
Completed, current fields keep your postings compliant and help you stay clear of audit findings and fines.
