Federal law requires that employers post specific government posters concerning workers rights. In Idaho the required posters include equal employment opportunity, Idaho minimum wage law, OSHA job safety, employee polygraph protection, family and medical leave act, Idaho unemployment benefits, discrimination and military family leave. There are potential penalties, citations and/or sanctions for failure to post.
Not all businesses and industries are obligated by all workplace laws, however, and therefore are exempted from certain postings. For example, small businesses with fewer than 50 employees are not covered in the family and medical leave act and as such need not post state and federal guidelines concerning the act (but don't confuse your obligations under workers comp laws with FMLA). If, however, you have employees you must pay minimum wage (with a few exceptions) and you therefore need to display your appropriate poster.
