Texas Workplace Poster Compliance Audit Checklist

Every federal and Texas-required workplace posting in one audit table — who requires it, whether it applies to you, and where it must be displayed.

Poster compliance is the cheapest employment-law obligation to satisfy and one of the most commonly failed. Requirements come from multiple agencies at once — the DOL, the EEOC, the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas Department of Insurance — and several depend on your size, industry, or workers’ compensation status, so no single vendor poster set is automatically complete.

This audit checklist puts every required posting in one table: what it is, which agency requires it, whether it applies to your organization, whether it is currently displayed, and where. It includes the newer Texas requirements employers most often miss, plus verification steps for Spanish-language versions and digital access for remote employees.

Who should use this checklist

  • Texas employers who have never formally audited their posting wall
  • Office managers responsible for multiple locations or job sites
  • HR coordinators onboarding remote employees who never see the breakroom
  • Municipalities and nonprofits verifying facility postings

What it helps prevent

  • Missing postings discovered during a TWC or DOL site visit
  • Workers’ compensation notices that do not match your actual coverage status
  • Outdated poster versions displayed years after a required update
  • Remote employees with no access to required notices
  • Missing Spanish-language versions where required

What’s inside

  • Complete audit table — poster title, requiring agency, applicability, display status
  • Texas-specific postings including TWC Payday Law and workplace violence notices
  • Workers’ comp notices for both covered employers and non-subscribers
  • Federal postings — FLSA, EEO ’Know Your Rights’, EPPA, FMLA, OSHA, USERRA
  • Final verification — currency, legibility, Spanish versions, remote access
  • Sign-off block to date and retain the completed audit

Before you process payroll, terminate, classify, deduct, or respond to a claim, get the decision reviewed.

Frequently asked questions

How often should we audit our posters?
At least annually, and any time a law changes or you open a new location. The checklist includes a sign-off block precisely so you can date each audit and show a regulator a consistent verification habit.
Do remote employees need posters?
Yes — employees who work remotely must still have access to required notices, which agencies generally accept in electronic form, such as an intranet page or shared drive. The checklist’s final section covers digital access verification.
What Texas-specific posters do employers most often miss?
The TWC Payday Law and unemployment compensation posting, the newer workplace violence reporting notice, and the correct workers’ compensation notice — which differs depending on whether you carry coverage or are a non-subscriber. Getting the wrong workers’ comp notice up is as much a failure as having none.
What happens if a required poster is missing?
Consequences range from citations and fines to something worse: several postings, like the FMLA notice, can extend an employee’s deadline to sue if they were never informed of their rights. The cost of the audit is an hour; the cost of the gap is open-ended.
