What labor law posters do I need in Ohio?

Employers in Ohio are required to display several mandatory labor law posters to stay compliant with state and federal regulations. The most common required posters include Minimum Wage, Equal Employment Opportunity, Minor Labor Laws (if you employ minors), Workers' Compensation, and additional notices depending on your industry, such as Unemployment Compensation or No Smoking signs. These posters must be clearly visible to employees at your worksite. To ensure compliance, always obtain the latest versions of required posters directly from the Ohio Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Labor.

For 2025, Ohio Senate Bill 33 introduces a major change: most required labor law posters can now be posted digitally, such as on a secure company intranet, HR portal, or digital breakroom screen. This new law makes it much easier to keep remote and hybrid teams in compliance. However, the List of Minor Employees and certain location-specific signs, like handwashing or No Smoking notices, must still be posted physically where applicable. Employers should review Ohio’s latest guidance and keep a record of which posters require physical display to ensure full compliance.

Poster Name	Language(s)	Mandatory?
Minimum Wage	English/Spanish	Yes
Equal Employment Opportunity	English/Spanish	Yes
Minor Labor Laws	English	If minors employed
List of Minors Employed	English	Physical posting only
Workers' Compensation	English/Spanish	Yes
Unemployment Compensation	English	Recommended
No Smoking/Handwashing/Concealed Carry	English	If applicable; physical posting

What posters still require physical posting in Ohio?

Although most labor law posters can now be managed digitally, Ohio law still requires the List of Minor Employees to be posted physically at your worksite if you hire minors. Industry-specific signs, such as No Smoking or handwashing notices, also must remain posted at the appropriate physical location.

Quick Tips for Ohio Poster Compliance (2025)

• Physical posting is still required for the List of Minors Employed, No Smoking, Handwashing, and Concealed Carry signs. Display these at your physical worksite where applicable.
• Always download your posters from the Ohio Department of Commerce and U.S. Department of Labor to ensure you have the latest legal versions.

Summary:
Ohio’s new digital law streamlines compliance for most employers, but physical posting is still required for certain notices. Check for annual updates and always verify the source of your posters.
