- Excerpt from Posting of Pre-Election Employee Rights Poster:

Before the rule, the long-standing practice has been that after the Board received the petition it would send documents to the employer, which included a Notice to Employees regarding their rights and the election process. The employer was encouraged to post the notice, but posting was not mandatory. The rule now requires an employer to post the notice within two business days after the employer receives it. If the employer uses its email system to communicate with employees, it must also send the notice via email.
