Required posters and where to get them

Common mandatory notices for Tucson employers include federal posters (Wage and Hour, OSHA safety, Family and Medical Leave Act), Arizona state notices, and industry-specific notices. Employers should verify which apply based on size, industry, and public contracting status.

Post required notices in a conspicuous, common area where employees normally gather.

Penalties & Enforcement

Municipal pages for Tucson do not typically set distinct fines for missing federal or state posters; enforcement and penalties commonly come from federal or state agencies with jurisdiction over the specific notice. For federal posters, enforcement and guidance are provided by the issuing federal agencies, and state enforcement is handled by Arizona agencies as applicable. Where a city contract requires specific posting, the city's procurement or human resources office enforces compliance for contractors.[3]

If you receive a posting-related notice, act quickly to obtain and display the required poster.

  • Escalation: first, repeat, and continuing offences are handled per the enforcing agency's rules and are not specified on the cited Tucson page.
  • Non-monetary sanctions: orders to post, administrative hearings, contract remedies, or court action may be used by the enforcing authority.
  • Enforcer and complaints: federal agencies (DOL, OSHA) and Arizona agencies; for city contract matters contact City of Tucson Human Resources or Procurement.[1]

Applications & Forms

Most poster requirements do not require an application; employers generally download and display official posters. Where a permit, variance, or exception exists, the issuing agency provides the form. For federal posters, download resources are available on agency sites. For city contract posting obligations, follow instructions on the City of Tucson Human Resources or Procurement pages.[3]

No central city form is published for general employer poster compliance; use agency poster downloads instead.

Common violations

  • Missing federal or state-required posters in employee common areas.
  • Posters obscured, damaged, or relocated so employees cannot readily see them.
  • Failing to display industry-specific or contract-required notices for public works or contractors.
Keeping digital copies and a poster audit log reduces risk during inspections.

  • Identify all applicable federal, state, and contract-required posters for your workplace.
  • Download official posters from issuing agencies and print at required sizes.
  • Post notices in conspicuous employee areas and maintain them in legible condition.
