Why You Should Pay Attention to Fill-in-the-Blank Postings
By Kelsey Basten
Published on May 10, 2018
It may not be enough to just display labor law posters, as many postings contain fill-in-the-blank information. These postings are to be completed at the location-level, providing the information outlined by the location’s state, county, city and more. This information may include:
- Emergency contacts
- Unemployment insurance
- Worker’s compensation carrier
- Area hospitals
- And more
Currently, 38 states and cities have mandatory postings with fill-in-the-blank sections.
If this information is not completed, your labor law posters may not be compliant. So, double-check (or have your location managers check) by performing a quick audit of each of your postings to ensure they reflect the most updated information.
So, how do you ensure your locations will keep these posters updated? One way is to include a custom memo or notification along with poster updates to help ensure your location managers understand how to complete the postings. Remember to include instructions on how to fill them on, what information to include, and how often to update them.
