I have reviewed the poster requirements for Virginia and provide you with the following information.

POSTERS

Virginia has a state website that lists the required posters.  This website is found at: 
http://www.doli.virginia.gov/infocenter/publications/reqposters_p1.html

Virginia requires the following posters:

	1.	Occupational Safety and Health: Job Safety and Health Protection;
	2.	Unemployment Insurance: Notice to Workers (VEC-B-29);
	3.	Workers Compensation Insurance: Workers’ Compensation Notice (VWC 1).

Job Safety & Health

There is only a minor change to this poster.  Under the Central Virginia/Richmond address, change the title of the office park from “Northrun Office Park” to “North Run Business Park.”

Unemployment Insurance

The poster is correct as is.

Workers Compensation

The poster is correct as is.

OTHER POSTERS

Currently, MPA has an “Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law” poster printed on poster 1 of 2 for the state of Virginia.  The Equal Employment Opportunity poster is required as a Federal posting requirement.   Therefore, I would suggest, so as not to cause any confusion, that MPA delete the “Equal Employment Opportunity” poster from the state of Virginia poster.

FLYERS

Revise the Unemployment Insurance language on the flyer to read:

	Unemployment Insurance (Code of Virginia §60.2-106)
“Each employer shall post and maintain in places readily accessible to individuals in its services all such posters related to unemployment insurance . . .”

Revise the Job Safety & Health language on the flyer to read:

	Job Safety and Health (Code of Virginia §40.1-51.1(E))
“Every employer, through posting of notices or other appropriate means, shall keep his employees informed of their rights and responsibilities under this title and of specific safety and health standards applicable to his business establishment.”

Revise the Workers Compensation language on the flyer to read:

Workers’ Compensation (Rules of the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission, Rule 7.2)
“Every employer subject to the [Workers’ Compensation] Act shall post and keep posted, conspicuously, in the plant, shop or place of business at a location frequented by employees, notice of compliance with the provisions of the Act.”

MPA currently has a listing on its flyer called “Virginia Human Rights Act.”  I have not found a posting requirement under the Human Rights Act.  Therefore, I would recommend that MPA remove the “Virginia Human Rights Act” from its flyer.
