Labor law posters are the mandated state and federal employment law notices that employers are required to conspicuously post in an area frequented by all employees. These posters serve an important purpose in that they notify workers of certain rights under the law.
The vast majority of employment relationships in Maryland and D.C. are what the law refers to as “at-will.” This generally means that an employer may terminate an employee for any reason or no reason, while an employee may leave his or her job for any reason or no reason.
Under the Fair Workweek Employment Standards Act, covered employers must provide at least 14 days' notice for any schedule changes.
There are a number of federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination because of age, race, color, gender, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and pregnancy. Several Maryland laws prohibit retaliation against an employee who has disclosed wrongdoing by an employer.
You and your coworkers have the right to meet and discuss workplace issues, including whether or not to be represented by a union. Employers cannot threaten, discriminate against, or otherwise take action against you for organizing or talking with your coworkers about working conditions.
Different companies have different policies about laying people off; or firing them. In most parts of the United States, there is no notice required by law; as most companies are ``at will'' employment situations. ``At will'' means the employee can leave anytime they want; and employers can fire you any time they want.
A lawsuit that claims an employee is facing a hostile work environment can be filed in a Colorado state court or in a federal court. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a federal agency that is tasked with enforcing the federal workplace discrimination laws that protect employees.

You file a complaint against your employer in Colorado with the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD) or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If your employer has less than 15 employees, you file with the CCRD. If your employer has 15 or more employees, you may file with either the CCRD or the EEOC.
