Under current law, most Ohio employment law posters must be physically posted at employers’ places of business in a conspicuous manner and in a place accessible to employees.
Senate Bill 33, signed into law earlier this week, will soon give employers the option to post the following posters online instead:
- Ohio Minor Labor Laws Poster
- Ohio Minimum Wage Poster
- Ohio Fair Employment Practices Poster
- Ohio Public Contractor Prevailing Wage Notice Poster
- Ohio Rebuttable Presumption Notice
- PERRP Safety and Health Poster
The law also provides that the workers’ compensation fund poster obtained once an employer is covered by workers’ compensation insurance may be posted online as well.
The new law will take effect the 91st day after it has been filed with the Secretary of State.
“This is a common sense measure that simply allows Ohio employers the flexibility of posting these notices on the internet, instead of at the physical workplace,” said one of the bill’s authors, State Senator George Lang. “This is a popular, bipartisan measure that lets Ohio businesses to use one of the conveniences of modern technology.”
It appears that employers will continue to be required to post a physical copy of the Ohio No Smoking Sign Poster in a conspicuous manner at each entrance to their workplace(s).
