Federal Labor Law posters, how often do i need to buy a new one?

[condan]

Last year i got a new fed labor law poster and i have been getting calls every week telling me that the one i have is expired and that i need to purchase a new updated one, How often am i actually supposed to buy one of these, and who is it that sees that you have them hanging up, and will fine you if you dont have one

You need a new poster when the old one expires, usually when the law has changed.

If an employee ever complains, THAT is when you get the fine.

When the law changes. There haven't been a new federal law change that requires a modification in 2010. State posters change when state laws change.

As far as who checks, OSHA and Department of Labor (both state and federal). While they do random checks I've never heard of them just coming to check posters. They check when they are there for something else.

If you have a poster that is out of date they will warn you. You can get every one of the posters that make up the big posters free from the various state and federal department's web sites in pdf format.
