电子劳动法海报:要求

Thanks to COVID-19 and the spike of remote workers in 2020, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued new guidance on posting notices for remote workers and hybrid workplaces.

  • 员工必须轻松访问数字发布(例如,在线门户)
  • 雇主必须定期与雇员进行电子方式沟通

    1. 雇主可以使用电子手段将FLSA,FMLA和EPPA公布通知仅当所有雇员1.远程工作时,只有在读取纸质海报的情况下才能替代。” to the postings at all times (emailing doesn’t count).
    2. If you have a hybrid workplace (mixture of in-person and remote workers), post the hard copy of the FLSA, FMLA (if applicable), and EPPA notices in the workplace. And, the DOL encourages you to post them electronically for remote employees, too.
  2. 如果您远程雇用并与申请人进行电子方式沟通,则可以通过在内部或外部网站上发布通知,以始终向申请人访问,以满足申请人的FMLA和EPPA发布要求。
