Poster and Agency Referral Information

Poster and Agency Referral Information

Businesses in North Carolina are required to post the labor law poster in a conspicuous area that employees frequent. The labor law poster is printed in two sections to include the Occupational Safety and Health Notice to Employees, and the Wage and Hour Notice to Employees. Both sections are 11 inches by 17 inches and are printed in English on one side and Spanish on the other. The law requires posting in English.  Please order your free posters by completing the online form or calling us at either 919-707-7970 (Raleigh) or toll-free (N.C. only) 1-800-NC-LABOR (1-800-625-2267). Our call-center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

In addition to the N.C. Department of Labor Notice to Employees poster, businesses in North Carolina are required by other state and federal agencies to post notices to employees about workplace laws, including unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and equal employment opportunities. A complete list of the notice posters that may be required is found on the State and Federal Workplace Poster Requirements page, and these notice posters may be obtained from the individual agencies that administer the respective laws. In addition, as a public service for the employers and employees of North Carolina, you may download each of these posters individually or in a group.
