Because we get a lot of questions for comprehensive requirements from employers in states across the country we’re going to try something new. In addition to targeted analysis and reporting of specific labor and employment laws occasionally we’ll take some time to publish a full list right here on the blog. Let us know if you find it useful. Federal requirements obviously won’t change but state and municipality requirements might.
First state we’ll deal with is Utah. Whether you are an employer in Provo, SLC (that’s Salt Lake City for all you non Utahns), or St. George this list should help you determine which employee notices you should know about.
