| The State of California and the US government require all California employers to post a number of required notices on their business premises to inform their employees of their legal rights.
 This has become a business in itself with companies selling the posters to businesses. The information is available free online but many businesses spend $25 to $100 a year to purchase nicely laminated posters to tack up in their break room.
The law mandates that most employers post at least 18 notices for your employees to read. If you don't want to buy a commercial laminated poster (suitable for framing) just click on the eighteen notices below, print them out and staple them to your wall. You will then be in compliance for this year.
(Repeat again next year, the notices may change.)
