As a reminder for employers in Ohio, they will be permitted to post specific state-mandated labor law notices online instead of physically in the workplace—but only if all employees have access to the digital postings. 

Eligible Notices for Digital Posting: Employers may now post the following notices on a secure and accessible digital platform (e.g., intranet, HR portal):

• Minimum Wage and Overtime Law Summaries.
• Wage Discrimination Law Summaries.
• Fair Employment Practices (“Know Your Rights”).
• Workers’ Compensation Certificate of Premium Payment.
• Drug & Alcohol Testing Notice (impacting workers’ comp eligibility).
• Child Labor Law Abstract (excluding the physical list of employed minors).
• Civil Rights.
• Prevailing Wage (for public works).
• Public Employment Risk Reduction (PERRP).

Important Employer Responsibilities: To comply with the new rules, employers must:

• Ensure Accessibility: Digital notices must be easily accessible to all employees, including remote and field workers.
• Maintain Federal Compliance: Federal labor law postings must still be physically displayed unless all employees are remote.
• Communicate Clearly: Inform employees about the shift to digital postings.
• Retain Physical Postings: Continue physical postings for employees without internet access or those not comfortable with digital platforms.
