RE:		Massachusetts required posters

DATE:	October 3, 2007

I have researched the mandatory postings for Massachusetts and provide the following URL addresses and notations regarding changes for your easy reference to the posters.

POSTERS

Workers Comp:
http://www.mass.gov/dia/DESKSCAN/POSTER.PDF
No changes.

Unemployment Insurance:
http://www.mass.gov/Edwd/docs/pdf/employers/2553A.pdf
The poster needs to be revised due to textual changes at the bottom of the poster.

Maternity Leave:
http://www.mass.gov/mcad/maternity2.html#9
This actually isn’t a poster, it is text from the Maternity Leave Act.  Therefore, I am not attaching any “poster.”  However, what you have on your current poster is correct.

Right to Know Workplace Notice (for state, county and municipal employers):
http://www.mass.gov/dos/rtk/rtk-post.pdf
This poster has a small change.  I found that for the address listed at the bottom of the poster has a typographical error, in that the zip code should be 02465 and not 02456.  Therefore, please correct this error.

Fair Employment Law
http://www.mass.gov/mcad/documents/FairEmploymentLawPoster.pdf
Although the change is minor, at the very bottom of the poster, the “1995" should be removed and be replaced with “2004".

Minimum Wage & Hour Law:
http://www.mass.gov/Cago/docs/Workplace/Employment_MinWage2007.pdf
This poster will need to be updated due to several textual changes.

Mandatory Poster has on poster #2, a Fact Sheet on Parental Leave.  Also contained in that fact sheet is information on employment discrimination on the basis of disability, and pre-employment inquiries fact sheet.  I have not found anything indicating that these are required postings.  

FLYERS

The flyer language appears correct as written.
