Question: I have no employees, just contract employees. Do I have to display the federal workplace posters?

Answer:

Under some federal laws, owners and/or contract employees are counted as employees. If you are likely to be considered a joint employer of your contract employees, use the U.S. Department of Labor's Poster Advisor, and count the contract employees as employees to see which posters you have to post. (Employment laws can have different definitions of employees and employers, so contact the agency administering the particular law if you need clarification.)
