The employers should display these posters in perfect view of their employees to refer, like the break room or main entrance. These posters are scripts in simple language, including information of all the fundamental rights, the rules and regulations of an employee. The rights to minimum wage, the leave policies, the overtime policy, the working hours, the insurance policy, uniformity of employment and many other valuable guidance are there in these posters. The posters are state specific so the company must provide the state laws too in the poster. There are safety posters too which help educating the workers on safety issues. The US department of Labor helps in getting all these informations. The website guides on the posters which need to be displayed and these can be easily downloaded from the websites and printed in normal paper and displayed for the employees.
