RE:		Wyoming

In reviewing the file, it appears that the state of Wyoming has made a poster that has all posters it deems to be required.  I have searched the state of Wyoming’s website and was unable to find a page that listed all of its required posters.

Therefore, I called the Department of Employment, 307-235-3217, and requested that Wyoming’s employment poster be sent to me.  I am now in receipt of Wyoming’s current employment poster.  It was last updated March 2006.  I have noted changes below.

POSTERS

Health & Safety Protection
There are a few minor changes to this poster:

The first change, is simply adding the website to the address information.  Therefore, it should appear as follows:

	Note: Additional information may be obtained from

	Workers’ Safety and Compensation
	Cheyenne, WY 82002
	(307) 777-7786
http://doe.state.wy.us/osha	

The only other change is at the very bottom of this poster.  The very same address that I just provided you, needs to be deleted at the bottom of the poster.  Therefore, the last sentence of the poster should be:

“Any person may make a complaint regarding the State Administration of this plan directly to the regional office of OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 1999 Broadway #1690, Denver, Colorado 80202-5716, Telephone: (303) 844-1600.”

Minimum Wage

The poster language is correct as is.

Wyoming Unemployment Insurance

There are textual changes in the poster.  Therefore, I would recommend that it be reprinted in its entirety.

Unemployment Insurance Division

Currently, MPA has a poster entitled “Unemployment Insurance Division.”  This is not a required poster.  I have actually found that it’s information obtained from a webpage under the Wyoming Department of Employment.  Since MPA already has an Unemployment Insurance poster, that is required, I would recommend that the Unemployment Insurance Division poster be deleted.

Discrimination

The poster language is correct as is.

Workers’ Compensation

There are textual changes throughout the poster.  Therefore, I would recommend reprinting it in its entirety.

Attention Employees

The Wyoming poster also has a notice entitled “Attention Employees.”  Therefore, please add the following to the poster.

ATTENTION EMPLOYEES:
