Last month, we wrote about a new rule that requires employers to post a notice of employee rights under the NLRA and then provided you with the actual notice to be posted. Well, today the NLRB has pushed back the deadline employers have to post that notice. According to an NLRB news release,
The National Labor Relations Board has postponed the implementation date for its new notice-posting rule by more than two months in order to allow for enhanced education and outreach to employers, particularly those who operate small and medium-sized businesses.
The new effective date of the rule is Jan. 31, 2012. In postponing the effective date, the Board reasoned that the extension is due to “queries from businesses and trade organizations indicating uncertainty about which businesses fall under the Board’s jurisdiction.”
