Required Records and Posters

Several federal and state employment and labor laws require employers to keep records and post notices informing employees of their rights. Enclosed are two charts explaining the main recordkeeping and posting requirements applicable to most South Carolina and North Carolina employers.

Please note that several public contract laws subject employers with federal contracts and subcontracts to additional recordkeeping and posting mandates. Also, the Fair Labor Standards Act imposes additional recordkeeping rules on employers who provide board, lodging, or other facilities to employees; employers of tipped employees; and employers of commission employees of retail or service establishments exempt from overtime pay requirements. Finally, various OSHA standards require that additional records be kept. For example, the cotton dust standard requires that covered employers maintain records of dust level monitoring, employee medical surveillance, written work practices, and written compliance plans. We encourage you to review the recordkeeping requirements of OSHA standards applicable to your operations.

If you have any questions about keeping records or posting notices after reviewing the attached charts, please do not hesitate to let us know.
