SB33
Allow employers to post certain labor law notices on the internet
Current Status: Effective
Summary
The bill allows employers to post certain labor law notices on the internet, providing an alternative to physical postings in the workplace. It amends existing sections of the Revised Code to specify that these notices must be accessible to employees online. The bill applies to various labor laws, including those related to minors, wage summaries, and workers' compensation.
Rationale
The bill supports the idea of reducing physical government mandates on employers by allowing digital postings, which aligns with some principles of economic freedom. However, it still involves government regulation of labor laws, which may conflict with the Libertarian emphasis on minimal government interference in employment contracts.
Risks and Concerns
- Potential for reduced awareness of labor rights among employees if notices are only posted online.
- Increased reliance on digital access may disadvantage employees without internet access.
