In California and in most all states, employers must meet workplace posting obligations. Workplace postings are usually available at no cost from the requiring agency. The Department of Industrial Relations requires employers to post information related to wages, hours and working conditions in an area frequented by employees where it may be easily read during the workday. Additional posting requirements apply to some workplaces. For a list of available safety and health postings, visit the Cal/OSHA publications page.

We bought ours for only $29, a combined poster containing both the federal and state requirements. It came in a tube, when unrolled, this fully laminated poster took up little wall room. The little time to do this and the little money spent beats the fine or citation you could get. Here's a link to where we bought ours: http://www.laborlawcc.com.

Pre-printed copies of the postings with a chart may be ordered electronically by typing in the number needed, filling in the required information at the bottom of the page, and clicking order. All titles with a direct link to the posting may be downloaded from the Internet. Downloaded posters meet an employer’s legal obligation.

If you need more than five copies of any posting, or have questions about required postings, e-mail the state at Posting@dir.ca.gov or call (415) 703-5070. You may also fax an order to (415) 703-5074.

Note: San Francisco businesses must post the SF edition of these posters.
