If you employ “employees” (those who are not your immediate family: spouse, children, stepchildren, and foster children; parents, stepparents, and foster parents; and brothers and sisters) you are REQUIRED by law to put up certain notices in an obvious place on your farm. They are:
State of Hawai‘i – Department of Labor and Industrial Relations
Federal – Department of Labor
- Required labor posters – main page
- Fair Labor Standards Act (minimum wage for agriculture workers)
- Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection poster
- More on the Migrant and Season Ag Worker Act – a lot more!
Hawai‘i Occupational Safety and Health (HIOSH) (on behalf of Federal OSHA)
- HIOSH poster (cannot be downloaded, but can be ordered here)
- Field Sanitation Standards Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (covers the need for toilets, wash sinks, drinking water, etc.)
