In addition to postings required by the Department of Industrial Relations, other state and federal agencies have posting obligations. Additional requirements include:

As an employer, you can either contact each entity outlined above to get the postings individually or you can order NCBE’s two-poster set that meets all above requirements except the IWC Wage Order posting requirement, which we will send with your set of posters at no additional charge. The IWC Wage Orders are specific to industry, therefore not included on standard posters. We pass our discounts on to you.

Other resources for individual postings include the Chamber of Commerce and multiple suppliers of “Human resources” products.
