Missouri Labor Law Posters
Employers are required to display both state and federal labor and employment posters. This means that employers must post certain notices in their workplaces so employees have access to information about the applicable labor laws. These posters, also known as workplace postings or workplace compliance posters, can be downloaded for free from our website.
Posting Requirements
The type of posters you are required to post will be determined by:
- The nature of your business
- The number of employees
- The primary language spoken by your employees
- Whether you employ people with disabilities
- Whether you employ minors
All notices must be posted in a conspicuous place so that they can be seen and read by employees. Failure to post notices can result in stiff penalties and possible fines.
Don't forget to visit our federal poster page to see if you require additional posters specific to your organization.

Employee Polygraph Protection Act
The "Employee Polygraph Protection Act" (EPPA) generally prevents private sector employers from using lie detector tests, either for pre-employment screening or during the course of employment, with certain exceptions. Employers generally may not require or request any employee or job applicant to take a lie detector test, or discharge, discipline, or discriminate against an employee or job applicant for refusing to take a test.
EPPA excludes federal, state, and local government agencies from the Act's coverage, with respect to public employees. Lie detector tests may also be administered by the Federal Government to employees of Federal contractors engaged in national security intelligence or counterintelligence functions.
The poster must be posted in a conspicuous area on the employer's premises where employees and applicants for employment can readily see it.
Required for: All MO Employers.
