Federal Posting Requirements

This poster outlines special wage rules for workers with disabilities, under laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act and others. These rules allow for lower wages in certain cases:

1. Definition of a Disabled Worker: This includes anyone whose ability to work or earn is limited by a physical or mental condition, such as injuries, age-related issues, intellectual or developmental challenges, mental health conditions, and sensory impairments. However, situations like unemployment or receiving welfare benefits don't qualify under this definition.

2. Understanding Job Terms: It's important for workers and their families to be aware of the terms of employment.

3. Determining Wages: Wages for workers with disabilities are set based on what similar non-disabled workers earn, local wage standards, and their productivity. These wages need to be reviewed and adjusted periodically.

4. Legislative Influences: The poster mentions the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and an Executive Order, both impacting these wages.

5. Additional Rights: It includes information on overtime pay, rules for young workers, and the process to request a wage reassessment.

This poster explains that the employer uses the E-Verify program to check if employees are allowed to work in the U.S.:

1. Verification Process: After you're hired and fill out Form I-9, the employer will use E-Verify to confirm with the government that you can legally work.

2. Handling Non-Confirmations: If there's a problem confirming your work authorization, the employer must give you written instructions on how to fix it with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Social Security Administration (SSA). They can't fire you or take other negative actions until this is resolved.

3. When E-Verify is Used: Employers can only check E-Verify after you accept a job and complete Form I-9.

4. Getting Help or Reporting Issues: If you have questions or think your employer isn't using E-Verify correctly, you can contact DHS.
