2025 Employment Law Updates
Many state employment law updates went into effect on January 1, 2025. It is vital that employers stay up to date on all changes to important labor laws. These laws are crucial to be aware of. At National Safety Compliance, we monitor those changes for you so you can focus on other things.
Of course, the most common changes this year are minimum wage increases. In fact, more than twenty states have increased their minimum wage. Some of the other 2025 Employment Law Updates include everything from child labor laws and discrimination in employment to whistleblower protections and workers’ compensation regulations. Without a doubt, we will see many more labor law updates throughout the year. As a matter of fact, in 2024 there were over fifty changes from coast to coast. This year will be no different.
In addition to mandatory updates to current required posters, some states now require entirely new posters. These new posters include, Employer Sponsored Meetings, Paid Family and Medical Leave, Human Trafficking Resources, Veterans’ Benefits and Services, and Equal Pay Act/ Pay Transparency.
