2024 Mid-Year Labor Law Updates |

State legislatures have been busy in 2024. There were 28 states that had at least one major update to their labor law posters in January and several states updated more than one poster. Since January, many of those states have had additional updates and around 13 other states have updated at least one posting. Considering the seemingly increased frequency of updates, our poster subscription plan is the best way to ensure your labor law posters are up to date.

While January is the most common month for updates, states also update various laws throughout the year. Mid-year labor law poster changes vary from state to state. Often, postings have minor updates such as address changes, website address changes, department personnel changes, and changes in design. However, many changes are major including increases in minimum wages, newly enacted laws, and major changes to the text of existing laws.

Minimum wage increases are one of the more common updates both at the beginning of the year and mid-year. This year is no exception as the District of Columbia, Maine, Nevada, and Oregon each have updated minimum wage and/or overtime laws.

Meanwhile, the changes in South Dakota, Virginia, and Mississippi relate to unemployment insurance information. New Jersey’s Family Leave Act has been updated. In Minnesota, the Earned Sick and Safe Time has an update. Likewise, a couple of states have updates to their workers’ compensation posters. Changes in Oregon include sexual harassment and family leave, while Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee have child labor law updates. On top of that, Human Trafficking, Discrimination, Pregnancy and Related Conditions, and the Right to Express Breastmilk are among other postings updated mid-year.

Periodically, in addition to mid-year updates, states sometimes add new mandatory postings. This year, a couple of states have enacted a new required poster for Captive Audience laws, also known as Employee Free Choice Act. Meanwhile, the new additional poster in Indiana covers Veteran Benefits and Services. Additionally, Washington DC now requires a Wage Transparency posting.
