Ohio Labor Law Posters

Ohio Labor Law Poster Requirements

Ohio employers may be required to display a combination of state and federal workplace notices where employees and applicants can readily view them. Depending on the business, additional posting requirements may also apply based on employer size, industry, workforce, federal contractor status, or other applicable factors.

Labor Law Compliance Center provides Ohio workplace posting solutions including state-only posters, state and federal combination posters, federal contractor poster sets, specialty workplace notices, and digital posting options.

Ohio State and Federal Labor Law Posters

Employers looking for a convenient all-in-one workplace posting solution can choose the Ohio State & Federal Labor Law Poster . This combination poster brings generally required Ohio and federal workplace notices together in one easy-to-display format.

State and federal combination posters can simplify workplace posting management by reducing the need to display multiple separate posters. Employers with multiple Ohio locations should review the requirements that apply to each worksite.

Ohio State Labor Law Posters

Some employers prefer to display Ohio state notices separately from federal workplace postings. State-only posters can be useful for organizations that already maintain federal posters independently or need to replace only the Ohio portion of their workplace postings.

Employers should review their existing workplace notices periodically to make sure required Ohio postings remain current when mandatory changes occur.

Ohio City and Local Workplace Requirements

Ohio employers should also review whether any city or local workplace posting requirements apply to individual locations. Local obligations can vary by jurisdiction and may apply in addition to statewide and federal posting requirements.

Visit our City & Local Ordinance Labor Law Posters section to review available local posting solutions.

Ohio Federal Contractor Posters

Businesses performing work under certain federal contracts or subcontracts may be subject to additional workplace posting requirements beyond notices generally required for private-sector employers.

Ohio employers subject to applicable federal contractor requirements can review federal contractor poster options in addition to their standard state and federal workplace postings.

Remote & Hybrid Employees – Digital Posters

Labor Law Compliance Center offers the eViewer Labor Law Poster System, a digital labor law posting solution designed to provide employees with convenient online access to required workplace notices.

Employers can also review additional options in our Booklets and Electronic Posters category.

Electronic access may supplement physical workplace postings where appropriate. Employers should review the requirements applicable to each notice before relying on electronic posting alone.

Keep Ohio Workplace Posters Current

Ohio and federal labor law posting requirements can change throughout the year. The Labor Law Poster Replacement Plan helps employers keep covered workplace postings current by providing replacement posters when mandatory changes affect content included in the selected plan.

Employers can also review historical state minimum wage information and historical city minimum wage information for additional reference.

Which Labor Law Notices Are Required in Ohio?

Ohio employers must display applicable state and federal workplace notices based on their business operations, workforce, industry, and employer coverage. Some Ohio posting requirements apply broadly to covered businesses, while others apply only to employers with minors, public-sector employees, or other specific working conditions.

Common Ohio Workplace Posting Requirements

• Ohio Minimum Wage: Covered employers must display the current Ohio minimum wage notice issued by the Ohio Department of Commerce. The state updates the notice when applicable wage requirements change.
• Unemployment Compensation: Employers covered by Ohio unemployment compensation requirements must display the applicable Notice to Employees explaining unemployment insurance rights and benefit information.
• Ohio Minor Labor Laws: Employers with workers under age 18 must comply with applicable minor labor law notice requirements, including posting or providing access to the required labor law abstract.
• Equal Employment Opportunity: Covered employers must display applicable federal and Ohio employment discrimination notices based on their coverage under relevant laws.
• Workers' Compensation: Ohio employers should review applicable Bureau of Workers' Compensation notices and any employer-specific posting requirements related to coverage, workplace injuries, and claims.
• Smoke-Free Workplace: Ohio law requires no-smoking signs at entrances to covered public places and workplaces. These signs must include the required telephone number for reporting violations.
• Public Employment Risk Reduction Program: Ohio public employers must comply with applicable PERRP workplace safety notice requirements. Private-sector employers generally follow federal OSHA posting rules.
• Federal Workplace Notices: Depending on employer coverage, required federal notices may include the FLSA Minimum Wage poster, OSHA Job Safety and Health notice, EEOC Know Your Rights poster, Employee Polygraph Protection Act notice, and Family and Medical Leave Act notice.
• Specialty and Federal Contractor Notices: Additional workplace postings may apply to certain industries, public employers, and businesses performing covered federal contract work.

Not every workplace notice is required for every Ohio employer. Businesses should verify the obligations that apply to their specific employees, facilities, and operations.

Ohio Minimum Wage Posting Requirements

Ohio employers subject to the state's minimum wage law must display the applicable current minimum wage notice in their workplace.

Ohio's minimum wage provisions include distinctions based on employer annual gross receipts, employee age, tipped employment, and other statutory conditions. The applicable wage and posting requirements should be verified using current Ohio Department of Commerce information.

Employers can download current and historical notices from the Ohio Department of Commerce Minimum Wage Posters resource.

Ohio Minor Labor Law Posting Requirements

Employers hiring individuals under age 18 must comply with applicable Ohio minor labor law requirements. These include maintaining required information about employed minors and displaying or otherwise providing access to the applicable labor law abstract as permitted by Ohio law.

Ohio Revised Code Section 4109.08 addresses minor labor law notice requirements, including certain workplace and electronic posting methods.

For current information, consult the Ohio Department of Commerce Minor Labor Laws Poster.

Ohio Public-Sector Workplace Safety Requirements

Ohio public employers are subject to workplace safety requirements administered through the Public Employment Risk Reduction Program (PERRP).

Public employers must provide employees with access to the applicable workplace safety notice. Ohio permits specified electronic posting methods in addition to physical display.

Private-sector employers generally must comply with applicable federal OSHA requirements, including displaying the appropriate federal workplace safety notice.

Employers can review the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation PERRP guidance for additional information.

Ohio Smoke-Free Workplace Signs

Ohio's Smoke-Free Workplace Law requires covered public places and workplaces to display no-smoking signage, including at entrances. Required signs must include the designated telephone number for reporting violations.

These entrance signs serve a different purpose from general employee labor law posters. Employers should ensure the appropriate signs are displayed in the locations required by law.

Official sample signs are available through the Ohio Department of Health Smoke-Free Workplace Signs resource.

Official Ohio Labor Law Posting Resources

Ohio employers can verify wage and minor labor law posting requirements through the Ohio Department of Commerce.

Additional public-sector workplace safety information is available from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

Employers should consult the appropriate state and federal agencies to determine which mandatory notices apply to their workplaces. Government agencies generally provide official posting materials without charge.

Ohio City and Local Workplace Posting Requirements

Ohio businesses should also review whether city, county, or other local requirements apply to their operations. Certain workplace obligations may depend on local jurisdiction, public contracting, or the type of employment.

For additional workplace posting products, browse our State and Federal Combination Labor Law Posters or our Ohio State and Federal Labor Law Poster.

When Should Ohio Labor Law Posters Be Replaced?

Ohio employers should review mandatory workplace notices when a state or federal agency publishes a revised posting that applies to their business.

Ohio's minimum wage notice is particularly important to review because the state periodically adjusts its wage requirements and publishes updated official posters.

Not every workplace notice must be replaced each year. Employers should determine which specific postings have changed and whether replacement is necessary.
