Montana Minimum Wage Poster
Mandatory
The Montana Minimum Wage Poster is a Montana minimum wage law poster provided for businesses by the Montana Department Of Labor & Industry. This is a required poster for all Montana employers, and any business that fails to post this notification may be subject to penalties or fines.
This is a state labor law poster enforced by the state department of Labor, Wage and Hour Unit. It’s a mandatory posting required of all employers within the state. It provides information about the most current rate of minimum wage payable to covered employees within the state for every hour of service. The Montana minimum wage poster highlights the rights of covered employees while also indicating responsibilities of employers within the state. The poster defines those who qualify and or are exempted, including workers and employers, from the provisions of the state minimum wage regulation. It also contains information about possible penalties in the event of an infraction. The poster finally indicates where and how to file a related claim. The poster must be correctly posted by covered employers at a conspicuous place where all workers can access it.
