Question: I have only unpaid volunteers — do I still have to post posters?

Answer:

In order to be exempt from federal poster requirements, the employer must use only workers who qualify as bona fide volunteers under the Fair Labor Standards Act, bona fide volunteers are individuals who donate their services for public service, religious or humanitarian objectives, without contemplation of being paid.
