No. 04-49

Juneau – State labor officials today reminded employers that several mandatory state and federal information posters required at worksites are available at no charge from the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Grey Mitchell, director of the Division of Labor Standards and Safety, said his agency gets frequent calls from employers who have been solicited by commercial poster vendors.

“Employers are free to purchase these posters from commercial sources,” Mitchell said, “however, they are not required to do so. We can provide free copies of all posters that may be required by the state as well as information including website links to obtain complimentary federal posters.”

Mitchell reminded Alaska employers that required posters must be visible in worksite locations readily accessible to employees. He listed 11 state and federal employment-related posters that may be mandatory in Alaska, including four state posters:

  • Summary of the Alaska Wage and Hour Act
  • Emergency information
  • It’s your right to know safety and health protection on the job
  • Notice to employees: unemployment insurance

Seven federal posters are available:

  • Employee Polygraph Protection Act information
  • Notice to employees: federal minimum wage
  • Your rights under the Family & Medical Leave Act of 1993
  • Employer’s notice of insurance
  • You have a right to a safe and healthful workplace
  • Equal employment opportunity is the law
  • The Alaska Human Rights Law and federal law prohibit sexual harassment

Mitchell said download links to order complimentary state posters are available on the division website at https://labor.alaska.gov/lss/posters.htm . The website includes an email link to request that posters be forwarded by U.S. Postal Service: Juneau LSS-OSH@labor.state.ak.us .

The division website also includes contact telephone numbers, addresses and web download links to order complimentary copies of all required federal employment-related posters.
