What Workplace Compliance Posters am I Required to Post at my Medical Practice?

Owning and running a medical practice has unique challenges. Not only do physician owner-operators have to manage patient care, they also have to manage business. Failure to do so has dangerous consequences. When it comes to figuring out what posters physicians should post in their break rooms, here's some info that should clear things up a bit.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is the federal agency that regulates employers who hire employees. The great news is that this same agency provides a ton of great information for employers about how to properly manage operations related to employees as well as free access to the workplace compliance posters they require employers to post!

In fact, the DOL has a free tool on their website that practices can use to determine the exact posters they need based on how many staff the practice employs, whether it employs foreign individuals, individuals with a disability certified by the DOL, and other unique circumstances.

We recommend that all medical practice start with this free DOL tool to determine what posters to display in their break rooms: elaws First Step Poster Advisor
