Ohio Allows Online Posting of Certain Labor Notices

The details

Under the law, employers now have the option to post the following state labor law notices electronically (this option does not apply to federal posting requirements), or on the premises in plain view, in a conspicuous place, provided they are accessible to all employees:

• The Minimum Fair Wage Standards Law (covers wage and overtime requirements)
• The Civil Rights Law (covers nondiscrimination and equal opportunity). Note: This notice must be available to the public if posted online, but it is not required to be accessible to the public if the notice is physically posted.[PD1] 
• The Prevailing Wage Law (covers prevailing wage for public works projects)

Note: Contractors and subcontractors subject to the Ohio Prevailing Wage Law's      notice requirements may post the schedule of wages on the work site or on the    internet in a manner accessible to their employees.

• Workers' Compensation (covers filing claims and access to benefits for work injuries)
• The Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (covers workplace safety requirements for public sector employers)
• The Minor Labor Law (covers restrictions on employing minors)

Note: Employers must continue to post a physical list of minor employees.

Notices

The notices will be published on the Department of Commerce's website (the Department will update these documents on an annual basis).
