On August 25, 2011, over the dissent of Member Brian Hayes, the National Labor Relations Board issued a final rule addressing “Notification of Employee Rights under the National Labor Relations Act.” Effective 75 days following tomorrow’s scheduled publication in the Federal Register, which would be November 9, or November 14 (per the NLRB’s inconsistent press release), every employer covered by the National Labor Relations Act will be required to post the prescribed 11x17 inch notice.
In addition to physical posting at “conspicuous places…readily seen by employees, including all places where notices to employees are customarily posted,” any employer that “customarily communicates” via intranet or internet with its employees as to “personnel rules or policies” must display an exact copy of the Notice on such site(s), or a link to the NLRB’s web site which reads, “Employee Rights under the National Labor Relations Act.”
