Pennsylvania labor law poster requirements must be carefully managed by employers with remote teams operating in the Keystone State’s diverse regulatory environment. Known for its historic industrial base, growing life sciences sector, and robust education and healthcare industries, Pennsylvania maintains a broad set of workplace posting mandates that apply to both traditional and modern business models.
While these posters are typically displayed in physical workplaces from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, the rise of remote work has prompted a growing need for digital posting strategies that align with both federal and state-level expectations.
Can Labor Law Posters Be Shared Electronically in Pennsylvania?
As of now, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry has not issued formal guidance specific to electronic labor law postings for remote employees. This regulatory gap presents a compliance challenge for organizations managing distributed teams across the state’s varied workforce sectors.
In the absence of state-specific directives, employers are turning to the U.S. Department of Labor’s federal guidance, which permits electronic posting when:
- All employees work exclusively in remote settings;
- Electronic communication is the customary method for workplace updates; and
- Employees can access required notices freely and at any time.
For employers with Pennsylvania-based remote teams, adopting a centralized digital posting hub—such as an internal portal or shared drive—offers a practical solution while awaiting state-level clarification.
“Pennsylvania’s employment compliance landscape requires thoughtful digital solutions that keep remote workers informed without missing a beat,” explains [NAME], [TITLE] at SixFifty. “Employers operating across Pennsylvania can leverage electronic posting strategies that support both compliance and workforce transparency.”
Required Posters That May Be Distributed Electronically
The following required notices must be posted in a conspicuous location and should be made digitally accessible to remote employees:
- Child Labor Abstract (English, Spanish) – Only required for employers with employees under 18.

For multilingual compliance, employers should post in all languages commonly spoken by their workforce.
Stay Ahead of Compliance in a Virtual Workplace
Pennsylvania’s labor regulations reflect the state’s balance between worker protections and business flexibility. As remote and hybrid work models grow more prevalent, employers must adapt their compliance practices to ensure labor law poster accessibility across distributed teams. Implementing a digital hub for workplace postings not only supports legal compliance but also reinforces transparency and engagement within your remote workforce.
