MODERATE

This bill was revised to expand the scope of required workplace notices beyond just veterans' benefits to include general labor laws. The amendment now requires employers with five or more employees to post notices covering both adult and child labor regulations, working conditions, and veterans' benefits. The revision also clarifies that both digital and traditional printed notice formats are acceptable, with specific QR codes linking to relevant state resources.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from only requiring veterans' benefits notices to also requiring general labor law notices for employers with five or more employees.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirement for employers to post notices about general labor laws including adult and child employment regulations, working conditions, and hours in addition to veterans' benefits.

Changed the requirement from posting a single veterans' benefits notice to offering both traditional printed notices and digital forms with QR codes for different types of information.

Added requirement for two separate QR codes - one linking to Department of Labor publications for labor laws and one linking to Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for veterans' benefits.

Changed the responsible department from Department of Labor alone to include collaboration with North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs for creating the veterans' benefits notice.
