The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) posting deadline of April 30 is looming. This deadline has not changed even though there is a court case pending that is seeking to strike down this posting requirement.
Employers must comply with the deadline unless the court rules otherwise. At this point, the court has not ruled and therefore the deadline stands.
Effective April 30, most private-sector employers must post the new notice issued by the NLRB entitled, “Employee Rights Under the National Labor Relations Act.” Certain industries, such as agriculture, airlines and railroads, as well as some small businesses, are exempt from the NLRA notice requirement.
HR Allen is now selling a convenient all-in-one State and Federal Employment Notices poster with all federal notices for 2012, including the mandatory NLRA notice.

The state Labor Commissioner announced the creation of a Criminal Investigation Unit (CIU) to target employers who perpetrate “wage theft.”
Generally, “wage theft” is a phrase used to refer to infractions of the California Labor Code involving the payment of wages to workers. Wage theft might refer to employers who fail to pay for all hours worked, fail to pay nonexempt employees overtime, fail to pay minimum wage or fail to properly classify workers as employees and report them to the various state and federal agencies.
According to Labor Commissioner Julie Su, the new criminal unit “will be tasked with leveling the playing field for California employers by raising the stakes for those who underpay, underbid and under-report in violation of the law.”
