The United States Department of Labor
mandated that every organization whether big or small in every state must have labor law posters posted within their
premises. The concerned authority realized the need of creating awareness among
the employees about their employment rights so that no company can take
advantage of the employees and violate their rights as described in the Labor
Law. Since every state is different from other in certain aspects, every state has
defined its own set of Labor Laws after analyzing the federal laws. For
example, if majority of the workers do not understand English, then the company
must post the posters in the language that is easily understood by the
employees of the organization. In the labor law, there are many safety posters
and regulation posters that inform and govern the rights that every worker has.
The labor law posters are essential for the protection of employees’ rights.
The second largest state of America is
Texas and in terms of population, the state is the largest state in U.S. Almost
all of the Texas labor law posters are
made bilingual as 37% of the population is Hispanic. In today’s times, it is
important for the companies to display the posters in their organizations in
places from where the customers can have access with utmost ease. The main
purpose of these posters is to ensure that there is fair and equal treatment of
all employees and no employee is deprived of his rights. With the help of these
posters, the discipline within the organization is easily maintained. Besides
the fair treatment of the employees, there are laws related to Job Safety which
ensure that the working environment is healthy and conducive for the employees.
The major emphasis of labor law
posters in Texas is on Equal Employment Opportunity and Health and Safety of
Employees within the organization. One more area of concern is the Minimum Wage
Law as all employees want to be ensured that their pay is in accordance with
the law, the poster reinforces the believe that the owners are paying
appropriate compensation package. The Texas Workforce Commission works
alongside the US Department of Labor to ensure that that every Labor law poster
is complete with all the information that the workers need to be aware of such
as Child Labor Law, Minimum Wage Act, Employment Discrimination and Job Safety
Rules as well. Therefore, the employees need to gather sufficient information
about the laws that are prevailing in the market and incorporate relevant information
in the posters.
