Effective July 1, 2024, the Indiana Department of Labor (DOL) will create and distribute a veterans’ benefits and services poster that employers with more than 50 full-time employees (or their equivalent) will be required to conspicuously post in the workplace.
The legislation does not currently define what would be considered a full-time equivalent for purposes of counting the 50 or more employees and does not explicitly state if the 50 or more employees are counted based solely on those working in Indiana or totality. Absent guidance, conservatively, employers may wish to post the required notice if they have 50 or more employees regardless of full-time or part-time status and whether all 50 or more are Indiana workers.
Next Steps
Employers should continue to monitor the DOL’s website for the availability of the new poster.
Employers who need additional guidance on whether this requirement applies to their organization are encouraged to consult with legal counsel.
HR Works will continue to monitor this topic and provide updates as they become available.
