Have you ever seen posters at your workplace? These are important because they tell your workers about rules they need to know. Different employers might need different posters. Here's what you should know.

All required posters can be downloaded and printed for free. You can find them on this page or on the U.S. Department of Labor's website. You don't need to buy these posters and the posters don’t need to be laminated.

Required posters should be in a spot where everyone can see them easily. That way, all workers can know the important information.

There are required posters that all Texas employers must display. There are some extra posters that some employers might need, if the law applies to them.
