Employers in NY now REQUIRED to Display Veterans' Benefits Poster

Governor Hochul signed A3913B into law on 11/10/2022 and effective January 1, 2023 employers have yet another poster to display. This time it's about veterans. 


The poster is to be created by the Department of Labor in consultation with the Division of Veterans' Services. It will include important items like tax benefits, mental health treatment, workplace training, and legal services.


However, is another poster really the answer? It's getting to the point where offices are just going to have employee rights posters and no art on their walls at all. Why not make these laws as digital requirements?


Regardless, employers better post this poster as soon as it's available if they don't want to get sued for military status discrimination as not posting would be a really bad look in such a lawsuit. Plus, violating Labor Law 201-h can result in civil penalties by the Department of Labor.

Employers Required to Post New Anti-Discrimination Notice of Employee Rights

Federal law requires employers to post a notice created by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC), which summarizes the federal laws and explains filing procedures. 


The notice was just updated, and it is called the “Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal” poster.


It must be placed conspicuously, in a location that is accessible to all employees, including those with disabilities that limit mobility. To ensure that remote employees receive notice, employers should also post the notice on their website.


Violations have consequences! An employer who fails to comply may be fined up to $612 for each separate offense.
