Do employers have to post an FMLA notice?
Yes, if you're a covered employer — generally those with 50 or more employees, plus all public agencies and schools. You must display the DOL's FMLA general-notice poster where employees and applicants can see it, even if no one is currently FMLA-eligible, and make it available electronically for remote workers.
