On August 25, 2011, the National Labor Relations Board (the "Board") announced that it has issued a final rule requiring private-sector employers subject to the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") to notify employees of their rights under the NLRA by posting a notice. This new rule is scheduled to take effect on November 14, 2011, and will impact virtually all employers.

The Notice

On or before November 14, 2011, employers must post the 11-by-17-inch notice where other workplace notices are typically posted. Additionally, employers must post the notice on an intranet or an internet site if personnel rules and policies are customarily posted there.
