TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS WITH OFFICE DEPOT

BUSINESS FORUMS/SEMINARS
The Napa Chamber of Commerce sponsors business forums/seminars on a regularly scheduled basis. Members are invited to attend these educational opportunities at a lower rate than non-members.
LABOR LAW COMPLIANCE PRODUCTS
Most of the employment posters businesses must post as required by law carry some potential penalty for failure to post. For example, some employers are required to post a “Job Safety and Health Notice” that summarizes the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. An employer who fails to post this notice could face a fine of up to $7,000.00. Failure to post the following federally-required notices could result in fines of $100.00 per violation: Family and Medical Leave Act Notice, Notice to Workers with Disabilities, Equal Employment Opportunity Notice.
In addition to the federally-required posters, California has its own rules regarding state-required posters. California law provides job safety and health protection for workers under the Cal/OSHA program. This poster explains the basic requirements and procedures for compliance with the state’s job safety and health laws and regulations. Failure to post this poster could result in a penalty of up to $7,000.00.
What should you do? Replace your employment posters annually or as required of all updated federal and state agency posters.
