Below is a list of Illinois laws that may require you to post a notice or poster. Unless otherwise noted, most posters are available for download on the Illinois Department of Labor’s website, which also has links to other Illinois departments’ required postings.
That website also has some of the federally-required postings (though it has not been updated to include the National Labor Relations Board’s new Notification of Employee Rights poster, required to be posted starting next year, available here).
