Start the year with confidence by ensuring your state and federal labor law posters reflect the most current requirements. GovDocs posters are designed to help employers stay compliant with the latest federal, state, and local changes – without the guesswork.

While Chamber members receive a 10% discount every day using a special code at checkout, GovDocs currently has a 25% off sale which ends this Friday! Use promo code LLP26 at checkout to get the 25% discount.

For those who have a fairly current all in one poster and just need the new NYS minimum wage poster, you can access the 2026 NYS minimum wage poster here and print a copy for free.

Also, a reminder that NYS employers must also distribute electronic posters to employees in addition to displaying posters in your physical location(s).

This electronic posting requirement applies to all documents that are required to be posted in the workplace. To ensure poster compliance, employers should:

• Check all state and federal laws and make sure all mandatory workplace posters have been posted in each of your physical locations.  Click here for a chart of state posters and links to download, and click here for federal posters. The US Department of Labor also has a poster advisor to help employers comply.
• Create digital copies of these postings and upload them to your company intranet. If you do not have a company intranet, create an email and attach the digital file you’ve created with the various posters.
• Notify all employees that the required documents are available electronically and where they can access them. Notify new hires during onboarding.
• Additionally, employers will need to make sure to update the employee handbook and other resources with information on where electronic posters can be accessed.
• As posters are updated each year, employers should update the poster package as well and notify employees of the revised package.

For those who would rather purchase an electronic poster package in PDF format vs. compiling themselves, GovDocs offers a NYS and federal electronic package for $19.99. Here is the GovDocs site to order from (or check out prices): https://shop.govdocs.com/Labor-Law-Posters/State-and-Federal-Poster-Packages.
