Are there any additional posters required for federal contractors in New Mexico?

Yes. Federal contractors must post additional notices such as the 'Pay Transparency Nondiscrimination Provision' and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) 'Know Your Rights.' These are included in our federal contractor-compliant poster packages when applicable. Depending on the contract type, other required postings may include the 'Employee Rights Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA),' 'Service Contract Act' wage determinations, and OSHA’s 'Job Safety and Health' poster. In New Mexico, federal contractors are also subject to unique state poster requirements, such as the 'Notice of Pay Day' and the Human Rights Act notice, which includes protections for sexual orientation, gender identity, and spousal affiliation.

What are the penalties for not posting required labor law notices in New Mexico?

In New Mexico, failure to post required labor law notices, such as the 'Workers' Compensation Act' notice (NMSA §52-1-6.1) or the 'Minimum Wage Act' summary (NMSA §50-4-22), can result in citations or fines from the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions. Federal violations, including missing the 'Employee Polygraph Protection Act' or 'Hazard Communication Standard' (Right to Know) posters, may lead to OSHA or DOL fines ranging from $250 to over $27,000 per violation. Noncompliance may also trigger audits or disqualify businesses from public contracts under state procurement rules.
