Those business's receiving notices from-The Nebraska Labor Law Poster Service-telling you to order posters(at a high cost) to be posted in the work place explaining Wage, Job Safety and Discrimination rules, with the threat of fines for not doing so, are way off base. You need to post the rules for your employees but you can get the posters FREE. Call 402 471-2786 and request that the posters be mailed to you, or pick them up at the Employment office in the Golds Building at 10th & N Streets or the basement level at the Wage & Hours Office in the State Office Building.
